You havn't really cycled at all if you have added no ammonia and no fish are in there.
Solution is to fishless cycle using a source of pure ammonia. Or to add very very small amounts of fish, test water twice daily, water change as necessary to maintain ammonia and nitrite below .25ppm
O i thought i was suppose to add fish which increases my ammonia levels. I tested the water today and the nitrite is at 3.0, nitrate is 20, and ammonia is maybe .5 or 0. I can't really tell the difference in the color on the test strip. So my nitrite is definitely rising, so should i leave the water alone or do a water change? Or buy some pure ammonia to add? Kinda confuse at this point. Water is crystal clear though .
You need to dose ammonia, but buy domestic ammonia to do so. Have you read the thread on cycling? You need ammonia for bacteria to eat it in the first place.
