- Aquarium setup and cycling started nearly 3 weeks ago and treated water as instructed
- Initially added approximately 42 drops of Dr Tim’s Ammonium Chloride, aiming for around 2 ppm ammonia.
- Tested approximately 30 minutes later and got around 2 ppm and this dropped to 0ppm days later.
- After a subsequent approximately 1 ppm ammonia challenge, ammonia tested at 0 after 48 hours. Nitrite and nitrate were also 0 (never had any readings of any nitrite or nitrate since cycle started)
- Around a week later, added another approximately 2 ppm ammonia dose.
- This second dose was added around five days ago.
- Since that second dose, ammonia has remained around 1–2 ppm, with no detectable nitrite or nitrate.
I feel like it’s now stuck and I’m unsure if I’ve done something wrong if someone has advice?
