chibikaie Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 In theory, yes. Have patience, the next step going from nitrite to nitrate can take an agonizingly long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevesj98 Posted September 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 So a friend of mine is telling me to do a 50% water change , would that make the cycle faster since the nitrite value would become lower after it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaykidding Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 No need to rush but water changes are used sometimes at the end of the cycle or the middle. I don't know about if it would speed it up I don't think it would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarah Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 What are your current ammonia and nitrite levels? If they're too high, the cycle could stall. If not, then there is no reason to do a water change till the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevesj98 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Yesterday the nitrites were at 10mg/l,now at 5mg/l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 If the ammonia is below 5, there is no need for a water change. Just be patient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
