New 55 gal tank fishless cycle

Thanks! So do I still keep redosing it to 4? And to bring down the nitrates do i do a water change?

Are you getting fish tomorrow? If so, do a large water change to get nitrates down, and maybe throw in some crunched up fish food to give the bb something to munch on. But if you're not getting fish tomorrow, keep dosing ammonia. Till the night before you're getting fish. You may need to do two water changes to get nitrates down to 20 or lower. Change out as much as you can.

I won't be getting fish till Saturday , so ill keep dosing and do a water change the night before, are we talking like 80% water change?

 

[Hholly]

Yes, just to get nitrates as low as possible or at least under 20.
