Problems cycling

[Kasakato]

have have just started to cycle my 20g tank. I have added 30ml of ammoina but it does not show up on my test kit that shows it in mg/l.

Day 1: NH3=0mg/l Water Conditioner added
Day 2: PH 8 No2=0mg/l Nh3=0mg/l 2 ml of Bio-support added
Day 2: MH3=0 mg/l 3ml ammoina added

You need to add enough ammonia to get it to read 5ppm. However, I'm not sure how much that would be.

The amount I have added is much more that it should need. I have just did a ammoina test with my Tetra test kit. I put in half aquarium water and half ammoina in the test vile. The thing still said there was zero ammoina! This could be the problem.

I've never used a Tetra test kit, but I like the Aquarium Pharmaceuticals (Doc Wellfish) test kits. Get the ammonia test kit with the two test bottles.

Ya I am going to get a new kit soon.
