Hi, I have been doing a fishless cycle for about 2 weeks. Everything appears to be going well. My first round of ammonia lowered to around 1 ppm and then I added more ammonia up to 4 ppm, no nitrites yet. One thing I have noticed is that my water level is slowly lowering. I am sure it is partly due to evaporation & water testing. We also started the new tank 1 inch below because we thought we were going to be adding fish after a few days. That is before I found this wonderful site and learned about the fishless cycle. Would it be okay to add more water? Should I add dechlorinator before or after I add the water to the tank? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
