Hello again!
So i'm about 2 weeks into my cycle using dry rock and the dead shrimp method. I expected ammonia to spike to 4 - 6 ppm, but it didn't happen.
ammonia spiked a little on day 5 or 6 from 0.25 to 1.5 and stayed there for almost a week. at the end of that week nitrites were at 0.1 mg/l. yesterday nitrites were up to 0.5 and ammonia still 1.5. today ammonia is 0.5 nitrites 0.1 nitrates 2 mg/l. is this normal or should i expect a spike later on? thanks all
