Hello,

I am just starting to cycle my fish tank 
On the cycling a tank page it suggests adding enough ammonia to have a reading of 3pmm. However, when I was testing my ammonia levels I noticed that my test kit does not provide a reading for 3ppm. Currently my ammonia level is showing as 2ppm. Should I keep it at 2 or should I go up to the next level on my test kit chart which is 4ppm?
 
I hope that makes sense. Thanks for your help.

Try to go for the colour in-between 2 and 4ppm, but better lower than too high to be honest.
 
Good luck :)
 
Yeah, just aim for a colour between 2ppm and 4pmm. Thats what I did when I cycled my tank, and it worked out fine.
