There is a lot of banter going on that is unnecessary in this thread.
I just want to clear up a few things...
First this is the first comment from Cezza that got someone out of sorts. But, there is nothing to be upset about.
tbh, you don't really need to do the 24-48 hour waiting thing before adding ammonia. Yes, it'll make sure there are no leaks, but if it does leak (unlikely), it makes no difference whether there's ammonia in the water or not.
Cezza clearly states that there is no need to wait 24-48 hours to add AMMONIA. There is no mention of waiting or not waiting to add dechlorinator. In fact, I would NOT wait up to two days to add ammonia during a fishless cycle. If the only goal is to ensure there are no leaks, what is the harm in the ammonia in the tank while checking for those leaks?
Secondly, it really doesnt matter whether the dechlorinator you use will bind ammonia. All it does is convert it to ammonium, which is less toxic for fish but still fully consumable by the bacteria you're trying to breed and won't make a bit of difference to your cycle. Myself and others recommend Prime as it's so much more concentrated than other brands. A little goes a long way and it'll save you alot of money in the long run.
Then there is this discussion about Prime and how it affects the ammonia in the water. First, Prime only temporarily converts the ammonia. It doesn't last forever as cyclic amines aren't all that stable, and since the only times that you would use the Prime during a fishless cycle are for the initial fill-up and the occasional water change if the cycle stalls, then what it the big deal? Secondly, since dechlorinator will be necessary for a LONG time as a fish keeper, mentioning that it is very concentrated and will save someone money in the long run is good information to share.
In addition to that, let us not forget that the ammonia/ammonium conversion happens NATURALLY in the fish tank all the time! As the pH drops, the ammonia becomes ammonium and that's why having slightly higher than trace levels of "ammonia" in a tank with a pH in the 6.0-6.5 range isn't actually a dangerous situation for fish. The bacteria
do process that ammonia as well, just not as efficiently. Which brings us to another point, most of the time during a fishless cycle it is recommended to boost the pH to 8.0-8.4, because it promotes the fastest growth rate of the bacteria (as well as boosting the temp to about 30C or 84F). No mention of this has been made, and regardless of whether or not you use Prime or any other dechlorinator that deals with ammonia, the ammonia will convert right back to ammonia at such a high pH, so it is really a moot point.
Now if we could get back to the OP... Quasimodoand, do you need any more help with the fishless cycle?
Most people would probably benefit from a 10 minute browse, i've learnt a lot there myself
