Hey guys, I'm in a bit of a dilemma. So, I've been cycling a tank and I have some really weird readings. I've been adding fish food to the tank ( four or five decent sized flakes every day) for about two weeks ago. I got some seed material from a friends tank about a week ago. The water I tested just now was no ammonia, no nitrite and no nitrate. So everything I thought was; -It's impossible for me to have been adding food for two weeks and no ammonia be present so the bacteria must be using it. - I never detected nitrites before, so either they where never present, or the seed material speeded up the cycle so fast that I never saw the spike before it was processed by the second lot of bacteria. -I do have live plants so it is possible they are absorbing all the nitrate? What do you think? I REALLY need some help!
