I have been fishless cycling for around a week and a half now. I started with Ace hardware ammonia, and I have only had to add more once. I originally put way too much so I did some PWC to lower the level to 5ppm. After 4 days I added a few drops more to get it back to 5ppm. Then I decided after reading here that I wanted sand instead of gravel. I am going to get corys so I changed the substrate, but kept some of the old gravel in panty hose. That was Monday. The ammonia level hasnt dropped since. Did I stall the cycle? Did it even start?
Also in the week and a half the tank has been running some water has evaporated. Should I refill this? Also should I add Prime to the new water? It says it kills ammonia, would that be against what I am trying to accomplish? Thanks for the help and sorry about the multiple questions.
