*UPDATE*
As of today... I have 0 Ammonia, 0 Nitrite, and 10ppm Nitrate... I think I finally made it... only took 6 weeks...LOL I'm still scratching my head why the levels wouldn't drop with water changes, but I guess it really doesn't matter at this point... I did 3 different things, unfortunately all at the same time, so I have no idea what, if not all, affected the outcome... I installed the heater... set to 80 degrees... I added an air pump, and added TLC Aquarium Optimizer... which I assume is the same(ish) as Cycle?... anyway... 4 days after the above changes... I am good to go... still feeding about 10 mils of ammonia, as I'm not quite ready for fish... Thanks for all your help!
Peace... Asphaltblues
