So my Ammonia finally went to Zero about 3-4 Days ago and my Nitrites have been around 1.0-2.0 or something like that (the 1.0, 2.0, and 5.0 purples on chart are so similar it's hard to tell sometimes lol) and haven't went down. I'm afraid my cycle stalled? What should I be doing? Wait longer, do a water change, or? I also don't want the ammonia eating bacteria to starve so not sure what to do about that either?

Thanks!
 
Relax, reefing takes time. The bacteria aren't going to starve. You didn't give many details. What rock are you using, how long has it been wet, how long ago did you start your cycle, and what did you cycle with?

Regardless, the answer will probably be to wait.
 

IF YOU HAD TO TAKE A REEFING EXAM, WOULD YOU PASS?
