So I'll do a full run down of the cycle when it's closer to completion, so all of the info is in one post. For now I'll just say my Ammonia is around 4-5, Nitrite is around 3, and my Nitrate is around 20-30. I'll post a complete run down of my cycle once it is, well... complete.

I added a few things because my cycle stalled and within 4.5 hours my ammonia was halved.
Ammonia 2.5
Nitrite 5+ (off the scale)
Nitrate 40-50

P.S. Thanks Chaloupa I love the store... but thanks to you I have to set-up a third tank... Do those guys get along well? What was the name of them again? I might setup my 100g tank and put a couple of them in there... if they are safe together... BTW your Ten Foot Tank looks awesome.

Ammonia 0
Nitrite 10 (± 5 as it is hard to read some of these tests... and I'm doing a 10/90 dilution ratio)
Nitrate 20

Its hard watching these numbers fall so slow, I wanna see what you have up your sleeve once the water stabilizes out. Everything happens slow and in moderation i guess..
