Im currently in the fishless cycle process (adding 6 drops of 25% ammonia per 10 gal), still waiting on my nitrite spike, then will lower to 2-3 drops per 10 gal.
Anyway, when the cycle is done, i already have 3 fish which i will be adding, but as they are small fish (2 Ghost knifes 3.5" each, and one 2" Bristlenose), and the tank is 100gal i dont think they will produce enough waste to keep up a good bacteria colony untill i get more fish.
When i add the 3 fish, can i continue to add only, say 1 drop per 10 gal to keep up the bacteria, and when i get more fish i cut out the ammonia???
I plan to get 5 or so Silver Dollars, a few angels, and possibly another bristlenose or other algae eater.
