Is it possible i am done cycling after only 2 weeks? I bought a 55 gallon tank. Filled it with almost 10 gallons of my old tank's water, used the filter from my old tank plus used the same plants. My ammonia was high almost a week ago. My nitrites were high two days ago. TOnight I just checked NITRITES, NITRATES and AMMONIA and they are all ZERO!!!! My PH was perfect as well.

I just did not think a tank could cycle that quick! My wife and I are anxious to get new fish but I do want to wait until it is safe.

Also, what would be a good "second batch" of fish?

Any ideas.
