Hi,
I am starting up a new 54L tank. I have followed the articles on this forum on how to fishless-cycling a tank. I have added ammonia to the tank and been keeping the tank running (with no fish) for more than 15 days now and the ammonia level is still > 5 ppm! I did 50-60% water changes two times and the ammonia level is still high.
Is this normal? Do I need to completly empty the tank and re-fill it with water?
Thanks in advance
