So I am doing a fish less cycle on a 10G tank with a few plants. I have Co2 in for the plants, and it looks like my cycle is going well, my ammonia was down to .25 from 3 and my nitrite was about 1.0 and my nitrate was just starting to read something more than zero.
So my question is, this is a planted QT tank, so how much ammonia and how often to keep it cycled with no fish? Would 1ml every couple of days be enough? Too much? Should I just get a dropper and put in 1 or 2 drops per day?
I could get a single fish but didn't want to move the fish in and out when I need to QT another purchase, and didn't want to risk that fish if there was something wrong with the new fish.
