Aquarium Advice Regular
Hi everyone!
I’m setting up a 50 gallon aquarium and trying to cycle the tank. I have opted for a fishless cycle using ammonia. I’ve dosed the tank the last 3 days.
On the first day I got a reading of about 1ppm for ammonia. I was aiming for 4-5 based on sources I came across online. Yesterday and today I’ve had a 0ppm reading.
Is my best bet to buy a biological starter from the pet store? Or how can I get this cycled using the ammonia? I’ve added a bit of filter media from my established 10 gallon tank, but it isn’t much.
Would appreciate any insights!
