I have a working idea... Do you think it will work?
If I have a tank that is at 50% bio-loaded based on 1" fish per gallon, can I take an already cycled tank and add 3-5 drops of ammonia to it every other day for a few days prior to the arrival of the new fish to prep it?
(10ml clear ammonia for a 30 gal tank would send a ammonia to roughly 4ppm)
I have a separate 3 gal tank that will serve as my isolation / quarantine tank, and I am adding a fish to it today.
