So... I think I'm almost done with my fishless cycle. I tested water today and here were parameters after I added 6-7 drops of 10% ammonia to my tank last night.
Ammo-1-2ppm
Nitrite-5ppm
Nitrate-10-20ppm
My tank is well planted. Once my nitrites go down I think I'll get a pwc performed and add fish by this coming weekend. My theory is that my seachem prime is keeping that last bit of ammo untouchable by my bacteria because when i added it it converted the ammonia into ammonium?
Is this ok? Just add enough ammo to keep my bacteria alive until this weekend?
This is my first fishless cycle and the algae is driving me crazy. I need some algae eaters.
