you say nothing about ammonia levels. Are you testing for ammonia?
You should have seen ammonia, and nitrite before any nitrate..

What kind of test kit are you using to test your water?

^are you testing correctly? Cycling with plants won't zero out your levels and keep them so. And what the hell is biogest, or however? Why do folks keep using jump-start products........no offense intended I just see many threads with problems because of these products.

Again, no offense. :cheers:
