Well, I'm not exactly sure how you're nitrates, can be over 100, when you're doing a cycle.I'm assuming fishless cycle, that's just crazy.I thoughtyou could only get nitrates like that from a waaaaay overstocked, unclean tak.Then, even 20 is abnormal.... help here fellow fish buddies?
cycle again and what?
the tank is been cycle for that last ( cant remember) but more than a month for sure ...last few week i did a w/c 35% to bring the nitrate down from 150ppm to about 100ppm...my reading few day ago
ammonia 0.25ppm
nitrite 1ppm
nitrate 80ppm
now just 5min ago
ammonia 0.25ppm
nitrite 0ppm
nitrate 20ppm
i test is 2times same reading ....did i do some wrong when i did the w/c .why my nitrate drop ...should my nitrate be higher when my tank done cycle .....and if nitrite 0ppm why ammonia still there????anyone know????

Have you put ANYTHING at all in the tank?
And you treated you're water correct?

Hmmmmmm, then I am totallylost as to how the readings turnedout like that.
We are gonna have to get some help here.
Do you know the pH?
although I don't believe that would really have an effect.....

Lol.I hear ya.Well, I'm really not that sure what could have happened then.....Maybe you should do a 80 - 100 % water change, and just start over...IF you want to try that.Then just add like, say, 20 rosy reds,orlittle cheap goldfish, and go that route...From you're readings, I just don't know..Do you have time, to re-cycle it?
how old are the test kits?
