So I've been starting up a new 10 gallon and this time, I'm doing it right!
I set up the tank on Sunday, water, heater, gravel, sponge filter (flow to max). Squeezed the sponge filter from my established 5 gallon near the new sponge filter in the 10 gallon. Added enough pure ammonia to get a 5ppm reading. Started researching ideas for a hardscape and plants
Monday: ammonia = 5ppm, nitrItes = 0ppm
Tuesday: ammonia = 3, nitrItes = 0
Wednesday (today): ammonia = 1, nitrItes = .25
YEAY! It's working! The water is starting to look a bit cloudy but I think that's normal, right?
Do I wait until the ammonia reading reaches 0 to add more pure ammonia?
