Ok so I started my fishless cycle a few days ago seeded as per Malawis recommendation I didn't have ammonia yet so I threw in some bloodworms to help start the cycle. So the past three days my ammonia has been steady at 4 ppm should I be worried my ph is about 8.2.
 
The pH will rise and fall during the cycling process. Only after cycling is done will it average out for you.
 
no just keep adding food instead of the ammonia if you don't have ammonia
 
Also want to add my entire substrate is crushed coral so it should keep my ph pretty balanced throughout the cycle.

If you start to notice your pH dropping you'll need to do a wc.
