Just hit day 13 and my 20g tall is reading 0 ammonia for the first time. Nitrites are off the charts since there are no fish in there i have done 0 water changes so far.
Questions...
1. Will there be one more ammonia spike right before the cycle is done? If i remember correctly thats what happened in my 6gal fish-in cycle.
2. Do i need to keep "feeding" the tank to give it more ammonia? I have low light live plants in the tank. (Anubias, 2 crypts, Wisteria, and one more i have not ID'ed yet.) ((i went with all low light plants bc i have one 18" t8, its a ZooMed Flora-Sun 5000k bulb))
3. Just to make sure i understand, cycle is considered complete when Ammonia and Nitrite have been pegged at 0 for a few days, correct?
**edit**
Updated my Aquarium Log with a photo. The plant in the front along the left half is the one i have not IDed. If you know what it is please share. It grows up about 6 inches then start to fall and grow horizontal while sending more stems vertical every node. Thanks guys!
