Day 2 of Cycling the 55 Gallon

A little over 24 hours after adding the Cycle and ammonia to the aquarium, I checked the ammonia levels and the nitrite levels. The ammonia has not changed noticably since yesterday. It is still somewhere between 1 and 2 ppm, perhaps closer to one. The nitrite levels have increased to .25 ppm, though. I take this to be an encouraging sign. The beneficial bacteria are doing their job and converting the ammonia to nitrite. I have added nothing else to the aquarium at this point, and plan on checking the levels about the same time tomorrow night.
