Has my tank stops Cycling ?

[Wang]

Hi

I have set up a new tank 2 weeks ago with ans shrimp soil, Did a water test weekly the result for the 2nd test is ammonia at 4ppm no2 no3 at 0.

Did my tank Cycling stops or did it even kick start the Cycling ?

And is there any case that if Cycling will not start ?

Your no2 shld be raising if a proper Cycling then drops to 0 n no3 kicks in

So meaning my tank has not starts its cycle should u wait for a longer time and monitor or should I restart my tank ?

Just wait... 2 weeks is still early days, the cycle will progress on its own as time goes by. Note that the cycling process doesn't necessarily follow a standard step by step timeline, it can differ alot between tank setups. Expect the various parameters to fluctuate alot before eventually stabilising.

Its possible... like what i mentioned in my earlier post, tank cycles don't follow a fixed pattern, they can vary alot in their progress between different tanks (even if their setups are the same).

My mistake its SL-Aqua purify. Currently only Y618 have.
