You'll do water changes towards the end of the cycle to remove the final product Nitrite. Once the tank has finished cycling there should be a balance of bacteria which will convert Ammonia into Nitrite and Nitrite to Nitrate so you should not get readings for Ammonia or Nitrite. Then just water changes to remove the Nitrite.
you mean to remove nitrate so many thing, im used to my freshwater tank and the cycle is all done with fish so yea, thank you
