Ok I really need so help! Could adding Amaquel+ before cycling completely screw it up? No matter how much ammonia I add my test says it is 1.0. Now either my tester ( which is a brand new master test kit) is completely wrong or I'm doing somthing wrong. I bought my 4th bottle of ammonia today...

ok, heres the story. I got "clear ammonia and put it in my 20 gal but it was water and ammonia surfantants. I did put a little in but I figured it wouldn't hurt and I let it filter out for 24 hours. ( 11 drops only drought it up to .5 ppm) Then I got this ammonia and it says Deionized water...

Well, I've gotten two bottles of ammonia that were wrong and this last one has deionized water in it and might be diluted. Will it hurt if I just add enought to bring it to 5 ppm even if it is kind of alot? :?:

My goodness, I might just have to use somthing else. I've been to 5 different stores today and can't find any pure ammonia. I'm going to keep trying to find the ammonia for now, but incase, how do you use snails? That sounds much more promising than fish. How long does it take to cycle with them?

Thanks, but I think I found the problem. The "clear ammonia" I got is water and ammonia surfactants, not pure ammonia...grrrrr :(

I need help! Ok, I used a medicine dropper and put 8 drops of ammonia in and waited 1/2 hour. I tested and the ammonia level barely registeres. I added two more drops and waited awhile and tested agin I got 0.50 ppm, I added one more drop and i dare not add anymore today. I don't know whats...

Thanks for the advice. :) Well, i grabbed some ammonia awhile ago and I'm gonna start cycling it soon I guess. I'm setting up a 10 gallon now too. I'm going to try to adopt one of Faith's culls. The 10 gallon won't be as nice but it'll do. Yeah, I've been to just about every betta site on the...

btw, I use a penguin bio-wheel. :)

This is what the tank looks like right now. Not much yet, but I plan to add some live plants and may be a couple fake ones.

Thank you for helping as well. :) What about aqurium salt and medications? I heard if yo add them immediately after cycling it will uncycle a tank. I really appriciate this help guys. :D

Thanks for the help. What about declorinators. I bought declorinators that affect ammonia and I heard that that can uncycle a tank, when is if safe to use them, I have a very small bottle of another kind of declorinator for the time being.

Hello, I planning on getting some betta (2-3) from Faith on Betta Talk( these are going to be expensive fish, I might spend up to $50 of each fish, thus I don't want any of them to die). I have a 20H gallon divided tank ( and I have no other established tank) I'm planning on putting them in. I...
