I'm just wondering if temperature affects the nitrogen cycle. I'm at four weeks on Monday since the filter and pump have been running after cleaning out the pond. Frogs and creatures are cycling the pond. Ammonia is currently between 2 and 3 and nitrite is between 0.25 and 0.5. But with it being spring temperatures are about 15 degrees in the day but drop as low as 2 Celsius in the night. Will it be the low temperatures why it's taking so long or would does it take longer with a pond than a fish tank? I expected ammonia to be dropping by now but it isnt. I had 0.25 nitrite last week so it hasnt gone up much nor has the ammonia gone down
