I'm doing it fishless by adding ammonia. The guide I used said to raise it to about 4ppm to 5ppm. I got it up to 4ppm a few days ago (when I started). The guide said to add that amount everyday.
I test the water twice daily and noticed that the ammonia levels are not dropping.
I started 4 days ago and haven't added any ammonia since and I'm still at 4ppm. I know that it could be a while before I see any nitrites, but shouldn't the ammonia level be dropping over time? I'm afraid to add more ammonia thinking that I'll end up with too much.
