Hi Guys,
Exciting times! today is the 7th day after adding 4ppm of ammonia and I tested this morning it was just below 1ppm. 2 days ago it was 3ppm.
So I tested for nitrItes and it was 3.3, almost off my colour chart. So I added another 0.5ml of ammonia to hopefully get it up to 4ppm again. Will do a reading when I get home.
I don't have a nitrate test kit so I will take a sample in to the pet store tomorrow to check that and PH.
What are my next steps in a nutshell?
