NO2 won't go down

Hi
My tank should be close to the end of the cycle. It's been cycling for quite some time now. My ammonia has been zero for more than three week, I already got the diatom algae and also some hair algae (I killed my lights and plugged my reactor now phosphates are zero) but it looks like the nitrite is just stuck on 0.1 (it's been like that for over a week). My nitrate is between 1-5.
I did about 10% water change yesterday. No change.

Should I just wait? Do another water change? Try a different test kit?

Any advice will help

 

I'd try a different test kit, or have your water tested by your LFS. It's not uncommon for a cycle to stall, but that usually involves a much higher level of nitrite (at or above 5.0 IIRC).

 

Thanks! I went to my LFS and my water is perfect

 

yay for you!
