My nitrite readings

[madpad]

Hey guys remember that I told you a week ago that my fishless cycle finally had some nitrite detected? My nitrites at that time were 0.25 the lowest on my test kit scale ,barely detectable. After a week they are still at that level 0.25. Is this normal? Should I of had a spike up by now?

It does seem to be strange but maybe not! Every tank can cycle differently because of different variables. How much ammonia are you adding? If you are adding a small amount, the bacteria is keeping up. Try adding more maybe!! What are your nitrates? and your ammonia levels?
