Ammonia that is.
It is a new school year and I am setting up my classroom tank as usual, preforming a fishless cycle.
I was being careless and I put too much ammonia in the water.
My tank was only about half full so I immediately put more water in - diluting it to about 8ppm NH3. (I don't have any way to get water out right now to dilute it further).
I'm wondering if I have killed my seed bacteria?
I had put in a nylon stocking full of plant cuttings from home as well as my filter insert from my established tank. which contained a sponge, ceramic media, and filter floss. All prior to over dosing the Ammonia.
Thanks.
