Tank cycling...will it ever end?

[rob]

Hi again Ed
i'm not too worried about disrupting the cycling on my smaller tank with my axies in it, just trying to keep the water at safe levels for my axies

so far managing Ph7.4 nitrite.25 nitrate0 ammonia .50/1
i'm changing approx 20-25% daily to keep these levels "is this about right?"

in my bigger tank with out animals i havn't done any water changes @ all. tested last night and finally got some readings although very slight,
forgot to mention i also added some stress zyme about 5 days ago

Its possible that the amount of ammonia source added to the tank initially was too small to show up on the test kit. The stress-zyme contains protien sources to feed the bacteria so this will help get it high enough to detect.
