Cycling normally takes a few weeks but it really depends on your set up. Sometimes can take up to a month. Just need to be patient.

The nitrite and ammonia readings will fluctuate erratically throughout. Then one day, they will just drop to 0.

Just be patient, keep your filter running, ensure that you de chlorinate water when you change it and that bacteria has ammonia available for it to feed on.

Also make sure your test kit has not expired. Especially if using test strips.
