Iv had my tank up and running for a week now, added Dr Tim's one and only roughly 48 hours ago, with around 2 ppm ammonia, as of now my ammonia has been staying at around 1ppm without me ever adding anymore into the tank, my guess is I have a few plants that aren't doing so well causing my ammonia to stay steady, my nitrites are reading 0.25ppm right now and my nitrates are reading 5ppm, where should I go from here? Iv purchased a second bottle of Tim's one and only just in case, do I add more ammonia? Or the second bottle of one and only? And a off topic question I have is, I'm afraid to get an algae outbreak doing this so Iv left my light off pretty much the whole time, it's probably on two hours a day at most, and iv heard lights out makes cycling faster, but it's killing my plants, would leaving them on for 9 hours be ok while I'm at work to help my plants?
