This isn't the first time I've cycled a tank obviously, but this is the first time I've used pure ammonia to do it. I dosed the tank with between 4 and 5 ppm ammonia on Tuesday. I also added some substrate (in an unused stocking) and an ornament from my already established tank to speed things a long. The ammonia level has not changed at all since I first added it and I am not getting nitrite levels yet either. I thought the seeded substrate would help but it hasn't done much. I just took a few small stones from the other tank and put it inside the new tank's filter to see if that does anything. I know old media is the best choice, but the filters don't match and I also just changed the filter pad before setting up the new tank. :?
When should I see some progress?
