    I didnt read through everything, but just saw you test results in that last pic. May i make a siuggestion? DO a 50% water change. Your nitrites are too high and are prolonging your cycle time. I just had the same situation. Do a 50% water change, and your cycle will probably take off and be done within the next few days. My test results were EXACTLY the same as yours for almost 2 weeks when i read a thread by Dr Timms about Nitrites, I did the water change to knock the nitrites down to 3, and my cycle finished up within 24 hours.

    even smaller water changes over the course of a few days will help. Just keep that in mind if you get tired of waiting. I got to the point that i couldnt take it anymore after 4 weeks HAHA. If I wouldnt have taken Dr Timms advice, no telling how long it would have taken. Good luck. Cant wait to see it stocked with the Radions. Im extremely jealous ;)
