put 5ml last night , what should of i done? and i will do a rest soonHow much ammonia are you dosing in ml?
I notice in an earlier post you said that your tank is 214 litres, mine is 180 litres and I had to dose mine 7.5ml to get it to 4ppm. The ammonia I was using was from boots and was 9.5% (of ammonia in solution), is the ammonia you using 9.5% or more as 6ml seems a little low to me for a 214 litre tank to get it to 4ppm.
ok hanks mate, and if i cant get fish within 2 weeks just keep topping up and when i know i have enough money for fish give it 1 more week puttin ammonia in before getting the fish then ?Ok, through the process you'll notice it takes less and less time to get through all the ammonia. When you are adding every day, and it is down to minimum level after 12 hours. Keep going 1 more week to make sure, then you do a massive water change, and add about 80% of your fish in one go.
Once you have fish in, you don't add any ammonia. But keep checking for ammonia and nitrite, and if either start creeping up, do a water change to take care of it. But it shouldn't. After a few weeks or even a month or 2, add in the final fish.
Sorry if my last post seemed snappy, I didn't mean it to but Reading it back it does kinda seem off.
