Ok so now I'm getting ancy but still holding on.

My ammonia keeps dropping every day and I keep hiking it back up. The question is now the nitrites are dropping (slowly) should I keep hiking the ammonia up?

nitrates 20
nitrites 1

ammonia hiked up to 2

Thanks for the help...
 
Keep adding ammonia until nitrItes are zero. Large WC, then good-to-go! ;)

I would say you are close, and based on your previous post, I think you have done perfectly so far.

How long has it been, and what size tank again?
 
It's been about 30 days or so. It's 135 gl. I'm adding sand right now for a softer bottom.

Can't wait to stock it...
 
Keep the dosing up until you see all ammonia and nitrites disappear in 24 hrs.
 
The ammonia has been dropping to almost 0 every day but the nitrites and nitrates are high. So I thought maybe I was stopping the process by adding more each day hicking it up. The nitrites did drop from last week but from a 2 to a 1 and so did the nitrates. It's been 4 weeks...

Sand is in.
