4.2 it is then. Thanks!

Thanks. I'll start doing some small water changes to reduce the nitrate level, then I'll add in the ammonia. My tank is around 80°F at the moment. I'll turn the heat up a little bit. Appreciate the help!

Oh, you think so? Okay, I'll start reducing the amount to 4-5ml. Thanks.

Thanks for the response WD. Sorry it's been awhile since I've responded. I don't think it's a matter of adding too much ammonia; I add 5-6ml to my 20 gallon tank every time the ammonia level falls to 0. I'm trying not to be overzealous in my additions. But now, about a month in, I always have...

Well, I found the correct amount of ammonia to raise my entire tank to 4-5ppm. I'm using the sticky on fishless cycling found in this board as my guide. I had nitrite readings about a week ago though so the bacteria was transforming.

And thanks for the response too! I haven't kept an ammonia journal per say; I just waited until the ammonia level reached 0 before adding anymore to the tank. However, I just tested my nitrite and nitrate levels and got some reading I haven't gotten before; the nitrite is flat at 0 ppm and the...

Thanks for the quick response! However, I just tested my pH and it seems fine at around 7.5. So I dont think my pH crashed. Thanks for the suggestion though! :nod:

So its been about three weeks since I started my fishless cycling process. Everything was going fine and dandy until just recently. I have been raising the ammonia level to about 5ppm on a steady basis and the level would drop as expected just as the sticky implies. Now, in the third week, the...

I did remove the carbon filter when I started the medication process. Your right waterdrop, I simply didn't understand the intricacies of establishing and maintaining a suitable stasis for my fish. Knowledge comes with experience and a helpful hand. As of now, buying a Master Test Kit is just...

Right. I'll get on that right away. No aquarium salt is good to know too( those thieves!). What about in regard to my filter though? If you didn't mention it, is it worth not worrying about? Thank you kind sir.

So, I recently took upon the great task of establishing and maintaining a habitat for some potential new pets. I am completely green when it comes to this endeavor as well. I have a 20 gallon tank with an aquaclear 150 sponge filter. I did as I was told and waited about a week for the water to...
