Hello all,
So, I’ve been cycling live rock in a 30 gallon bin for about 6 weeks now, but I’m confused. When I dose the ammonia to about 3-4ppm, the ammonia is gone in less than 24 hours, but it takes the nitrites 1 1/2- 2 days to be gone. Would anyone know why that’s the case? Will it just take a longer time for the nitrites to keep up with the ammonia? It’s been the same for about 2 weeks.
 
Dont worry about nitrites.

Sounds like you are cycled.

What's your nitrates?
