I started power cycling my tank 2 days ago with ammonia and fritz turbo start. Friday: (few hours later)
Ammonia: 8ppm
Nitrite: .50ppm
Nitrate: 0ppm
Saturday: (24 hour later)
Ammonia: 2.0ppm
Nitrites: 2.0ppm
Nitrates: 80 ppm
Sunday: (36 hours later)
Ammonia: 0ppm
Nitrites: 2.0ppm
Nitrates: 0.0ppm
I’m very confident in my tests.
What happened to the nitrates did they just disappear, that’s not possible?
I think I’m just going to do a water change dose some ammonia and if it disappears call it cycled. Any input?
