After reading all the articles on cycling, I have a couple of questions I'm hoping to get answered.
Do I keep the levels over 5 ppm all the time? And if I do keep them over 5 ppm by adding more ammonia, how do I know when to stop adding it so that the tank can fully cycle? It's a 10gal tank I'll be cycling.
And anyone know how to speed up cycling? I heard that you can add gravel from another tank. Is that right?
How long should it take? One person said their 10g tank took a week but others say it takes 4-6 weeks. Would it be in the middle of that?
My biggest question really is when to stop adding ammonia and if I'll have to add anymore after the cycling has started. Thanks!
