Aquarium Advice Regular
I'm trying to get a fishless cycle started here. I bought some 10% Ammonia at the hardware store. I added a lot to the small, 1 gal tank, but the kit didn't show much ammonia, so I tested the "ammonia" itself, but it shows < than 0.25 ppm ammonia.
What is going on? Is the ammonia not really ammonia? The kit (AP master test kit) doesn't have any problem showing high concentrations (1 ppm) of ammonia from the water my fish is in. (Right now he's in a 1/2 gal bowl. I change the water every or every other day.)
