Hi guys,
I was finally able to find the 100% pure ammonia (I thought I had it earlier but when I shook the bottle, it bubbled so it was the wrong stuff), and I finally got an AP Freshwater test kit.
Here were my steps:
1. Add water, plants (some real some fake) and decorations.
2. Test the water:
Main tank:
Ph: 6.4
Ammonia: 0.25ppm
NitrIte: 0ppm
NitrAte: 0ppm
Quarantine tank:
Ph 7.6
Ammonia: 0.5ppm
Nitrite: 0ppm
Nitrate: 0ppm
3. Add ammonia to try and get 4 - 5 ppm
Main tank (8 gal): 4 drops added
Quarantine tank(1 gal): 1 drop added
I'm currently waiting 20 minutes then checking the ammonia levels again. Am I off to a correct start?
