No change in ammonia as of last night. Still have 0 nitrites and between 1-5 nitrates. I have shook that nitrate bottle so much but it still won't give me any other type of reading. I have not added any more ammonia because it isn't dropping from that solid 1 ppm?

Oh, and I did dose the tank to 2 ppm last night per your instructions and 12 hours later it is between .50-1 ppm. Maybe another week then?

I have been testing my PH on the high chart and it is consistently at 8.0 ppm. I have not checked it since the water change yesterday. I was impatient and checked my ammonia this morning 12 hours later and it looks to me that it is between .50 and 1 ppm (I can't tell those two apart) and...

OK, so I decided to go to my lfs and have my water tested because that color chart is hard to read (they all look alike to me). Ammonia: .50 ppm Nitrite: 0 ppm Nitrate: 15 ppm PH: off the low chart I should note that I panicked after getting the first readings and did a 30-40% water...

Thanks for the advice. I watched a Youtube video and the person conducting the video acted like they added the ammonia and BAM the next day the ammonia level was at zero. I thought it probably took longer than that to go down but wanted to make sure. One day my betta will have a nice, bigger...

Thank you for the information. I was just wanting to know if I'm doing it right. The articles I've read never says how long it takes for the ammonia to go down just that one day they do. I have read that the Nitrite spike seems to go on forever and then one day they will be down as well...

I am new to fishless cycling and just recently set up my 10 gallon aquarium for my betta and I was wondering if my tank is on track or if I need to do anything. I've read so many articles and everyone has a different opinion so I am totally confused. I am using the pure ammonia method...
