It's been 4 weeks now of fishless cycling, and NOTHING. I originally dosed ammonia to 4ppm. I have never had to redose. Ammonia appears to have dropped to 2ppm, but I have 0 nitrites, and 0 nitrates....so I think the ammonia drop is due to having to add water from evaporation, so it's gotten diluted over the weeks, just my thought.....and yes, I add treated water.
My parents never had any of these problems doing it the old fashioned way, so I think I am going to do a super huge pwc, refill the tank, let it run a few days, and try a fish in cycle this time.
