Thought i'd update this thread with my cycling progress, plus I have a further question about the cycling process.

I bought the Kleen Off ammonia (which is disgusting stuff btw, it smells like my nan's old perm packets just even stronger!). Anyway it's just under two weeks now since I added it, and I have nitrites, which is dead exciting, but my question is when exactly will the tank be cycled?

What I'm struggling with is at what point do I stop adding the ammonia? Do I stop immediately once nitrates spike? I can't quite fathom out what point I can actually say 'yes, that's it the tank is cycled, now I just wait for the ammonia and nitrite to completely disappear, then I can add fish'.

I hope that makes sense?
