I just started official cycle, on a 20 gallon Using Dr. Timās, and no bacteria. I read through the instructions on the form and it all seem to make sense but the doctor Timās dosage recommended 4 drops per gallon to get to 2 ppm. I just assume to get to 3 ppm I would do six drops per gallon, I estimated 17 gallons per the 85% recommendation.
When I ran the ammonia test, it seems to be reading way higher than what it shouldāve been based on my calculations. I was looking around for some help and it seem to be like people would suggest posting pictures on here to help with the readings. Iām using the API freshwater master test kit which doesnāt expire until August 2025. Iāve attached a couple pictures but depending on what light I have it in I really donāt know how much of a water change to do to get it back down to 3 ppm, I do believe it is reading high though.
I really appreciate any Help and insight folks may be able to provide. Thank you.
