Yes you should dose it back up. Some suggest 2ppm, some 4ppm. Re-dosing shouldn't stall unless you over-dose. And you know if you don't re-dose then the BB will eventually die.
For your FW tank, get more neons. They prefer groups.

I agree with jenatron, re dose up to at least 2ppm. I went to 4ppm when i did mine. You can use that small syringe i sent you to dose the ammonia.

i want more neons but petsmarts stock of them is allways lack luster about how many ml would you say 2ppm is I'm thinking 2-3ml

It all depends on the concentration of the ammonia you have. Add a couple drops then test. You can always add more.

 

[iDream]

Yes I agree, remember the readings are in parts per million adding even the tiniest amount will raise the level.

I say add a drop or two, wait an an hour, and test. Like Jen said, you can always add more

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

it's the ace hardware ammo you think one ml would be overkill?

 

[jenatron]

Well, I used an ammonia/fishless cycling calculator and it says ~1mL would bring it around 2-3 ppm. BUT there is debate as to whether or not these are accurate. (That's my disclaimer )

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

lol true il add three drops how long should i wait to test?

 

[jenatron]

I've always heard 15-30 min.

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

i just added 2-4 drops right now 136est

 

[hackteck]

i just dropped a shrimp in for my cycle one jumbo shrimp didnt feel like doing all the dosing

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

a added another .5 ml of ammo this test wasnt good will test in 20min

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

tested still .25-1ppm added 1ml of ammo

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

my salt came in its about 7-10 cups of salt not that bad should last a little bit

 

[carey]

As long as you don't go overboard with the ammonia you prob won't need any salt til the big pwc you before adding creatures.
