I started the fishless cycle 4 days ago in a 5 gallon tank with plants. I didn't have my test kit till today. I was putting in only maybe a small capful of ammonia everyday. I got my test kit today (API) and the ammonia reading was 8.0 or abouve (it was at the top green on the chart). I did a 50% water change and it still came up 8.0. Should I try to wait it out or do a complete do over with new water?
