Hi, I am am new to the forums. I have tried to read as many posts about other people's fishless cycling experience, but didn't really see posts about the issue I am having.
I started my fishless cycle about 3 weeks ago with no seeding material from an established tank. I used the ACE brand ammonia and dosed the acquarium to 4ppm. I have seen no decrease in the ammonia level and have only tested for nitrites once. There were 0 nitrites a few days ago. I have a 36 gallon tank with the water temperature at 80 degrees. I did dechlorinate the water when the acquarium was setup. Am I just being impatient or is the cycle not working for some reason?
Thanks for any advice...
