I am new to fish keeping. I have been doing a lot of research and am in the middle of a fishless cycle that is moving along nicely.
I have a 10 gallon with Aqua-Tech 5-10 filter, heater set to 82, bubble wand cranked, gravel substrate, Amazon Swords and Java Fern.
I plan to stock with 3 platies when the cycle is finished. I did the AQ Advisor and filtration at 182% with stocking at 68%.
I have been dosing ammonia back to 2 ppm because I read that much higher can slow down or damage the bacteria (seeded with TSS). My question is if 2ppm will be adequate for my stocking level or should I increase the amount?
