    Thanks for your quick reply. I was just curious if I dosed it back up to 4 ppm and it was zero in 24 hrs if I could add more fish at a time . I have a holding tank with 10 neons and 1 small gourami. The tank that just cycled is 36 g. Thanks

    Hi everyone. 5 weeks later. My tank is finally cycled. 0 ammo, 0 nitrites, 40 nitrates. First day. I dose 2 ppm ammonia every 2 days and is gone at every test. My question is: If I originally dosed at 4 ppm of ammonia in the very beginning and then went to 2 ppm do I do the last one at 4 or 2...

    Hi. I really don't want to kill fish. I thought I'd try something new?.

    Hi. No. With my established tank I always use prime during water changes. This is the first time trying pure ammonia. Cycling before was with fish. This is new to me. I've always used prime when cycling. I've read that you don't need it when first starting. As long as you gas off the tank. I did.

    I've read not to use a de chlorinator when starting a new tank. Fill, turn up heat, add air. Let run for 24 hrs to get rid of chlorine. Add prime when you start the water changes. Hope I'm not wrong. Thanks

    Thanks for your reply. I turned the heat up to 80. Running filter on full, let the tank air out for 24hrs before adding the old media. I didn't add prime. It's only been a week. Nothing has shown up yet. Added ammonia when it drops. No nitrites yet. I will test again today.

    If that is so, wouldn't my new tank with all the media from the old tank show readings? The only thing showing is the ammonia that I am adding. O nitrites and o nitrates. Thanks
