Hiya! I'm brand new to this forum. I have a question on fishless cycling, so for those of you who are knowledgeable in this subject... Help?
Today is day 9 of my fishless cycle, and nine days ago I put in my ammonia up to 4ppm. The ammonia still hasn't gone down at all.
I have no seeding material.
I'm using Ace Hardware Janitorial Strength Ammonia.
I'm testing with the API Master Freshwater test kit.
It's a 36 gallon tank- will be freshwater, so no salt in it or whatever.
So... is it normal for it to take this long for the ammonia to go down? Any advice to speed up my cycle?
Thanks!
