Hi I am very new to this. Just started the fishless cycle method about a week and a half ago. I added enough ammonia to get a 4ppm reading after a couple days it dropped a bit, but no nitrates or nitrites so I added enough ammonia to get back to 4ppm it had been about 11 days and have seen no other readings except ammonia. water is at 82 degrees. Does this sound normal to you guys am I doing this right? in the meantime im gonna surf this forum and learn all I can. Thanks for reading and helping.
