It was after 3 A.M. last night so I did not dose the tank before bed.

This morning ammonia is increasing to somewhere between point 50 and 1. Nitrites not measurable yesterday are now at point 25.

I added 1.5 gallons of treated water as the tank was not full then treated the whole tank with Amquel.

Will post new results in 2 hours.

No Nitrates yet, but as fast this tank is going I wouldn't be surprised to see them by morning.

Any thoughts as to why this is going so fast? Maybe because the tank is small? I've read that smaller tanks are harder to maintain.

If numbers are not favorable again in 2 hours would you recommend another 10%water change?

If I have no answer by that time I will do another water change. The speed at which this tank is cycling has me alarmed (and amazed)
