Let me start off by saying i've created several threads and wish i could delete. Just thought i should put my problems in this one post.
On the 8th i started cycling my 30G - used fish food and the ammonia went up along with nitrites. Added filter media on the 15th then nitrites were decreasing and ammonia was increasing.
Cycled stalled. The past few days i've been trying to lower it and i have it at a good 0.5ppm. I added an anubias, brand new airstone, florescent light and will be getting pool filter sand. I also just picked up bog wood from a stream today. Not sure of the kind or if it's safe. Let me know if it is or not.
I also searched everywhere for pure ammonia and i cannot find it. There is one last place i can check and that is an autopart shop. If they don't have it, what am i even going to do?
** side note: i'll be having 6 male cherry barbs, 6 zebra danios, and 2 bristlenose plecos.
