Aquarium Advice Freak
So i just entered my 4th week of a fishless cycle yesterday. my initial source of ammonia was the ADA Aquasoil i used for substrate. the ammonia readings have all been really high untill a few days ago, and now my ammonia is at .5-.25ppm. my nitrites have shot up recently as well. where can i find the pure, unscented ammonia with no surfactants??? i've been looking online at places like wal-mart, walgreens, and ace hardware but can only find ammonia with perfumes and ammonia containing surfactants.. i'm guessing i just need to go to Ace Hardware and look for my self, maye it's just such a cheap and everyday item they dont list it on their web page. any suggestions and / or advice is greatly appreciated. hope to find some before my ammonia levels drop to ZERO, in order to keep them fed.
maybe i just do the fish food thing, how much do you add per day to keep them fed and thriving?
also is there a guide anywhere out there on how many drops, or fractions of a teaspoon to add (to get back to 2-4ppm) per so many gallons of tank water??? instead of adding testing adding testing, was hoping to find a table or something.. something like "add 2 drops of ammonia per 10 galloons of tank water, to get3ppm"...
thanks AA!
