bacteria bloom?

[ericb]

So im on day 4 of my fishless cycle and i did a water test this afternoon and noticed my water is pretty cloudy today. My Nitrites have exploded from 0ppm yesterday to about 3ppm this afternoon. The ammonia has slightly dropped, maybe from 4 to 3ppm. Is it a good sign to see some cloudiness in my water? Im guessing this is the bacteria starting to develop?

sounds about right. let the ammonia drop to 2ppm and maintain it there untill the nitrites hit 0 again. no water changes just remember XD.

thank god, sounds like its an easier waiting game now. I can finally stop worrying that I added too much ammonia! I cant wait for "code light yellow, light blue, Red" to finally happen! Thanks for your input!

[ericb]

well the first bb happened earlier than I predicted so I will keep the same frame of mind!
