Hey all, this is my first time cycling a tank, I used Dr. Tims and am currently doing a fishless cycle.
I'm currently 12 days into my cycle. My ammonia peaked at 5+ ppm on day 5 and has been reading 0 ppm since day 11. My nitrites peaked at 5+ppm on day 6 and have remained at those levels, despite a 20% water change. Has my cycling stalled? I also read somewhere nitrites don't really matter for saltwater and I can add my fish right now. Thoughts?
