Aquarium Advice Regular
Ok so I'm entering my fifth week of fishless cycle. Dosed on 1/17/11 with ace hardware janitorial ammonia recommended here and other places to approximately 5.0 according to API Master Kit. It is now 2/20/11. Definitely not close to 8 but more than 4, as the test kit only has 4 then skips to 8. So I think the ammonia has went down a little bit. I'd say it's a little under 4 but not much. Still have 0 nitrites and 0 nitrates. Other than testing I have done nothing else except add a gallon of water every 10 days or so to compensate for evaporation and I treated it with Aqueon water conditioner first that says eliminates chlorine and chloramines amongst other things. So its been a month now and no movement. Is everything OK? Should I just continue to wait or do something else? Thanks in advance for any advice!
