Beginner here. First cycle. On day 18 of a fishless cycle in a 29gal. Using stability and prime. Dosing Dr Tims ammonia. Using API master test kit.
Today's test results...
Temp- 84f
pH- 7.5
Amm- .25
NitrIte- 5ppm
NitrAte- between 0-5ppm
I have just recently seen nitrites the past few days and they're going through the roof. Took about a week for ammonia to drop from 4ppm to today's .25 reading. Nitrates have been as high as 40ppm (6 days ago) and slowly declined to today's 2/3ppm reading.
My question is do I dose ammonia today? I started on day 1 dosing ammonia to only 2ppm and dosed more ammonia on day 10 to bring it to 4ppm. Should I bring it back up to
4ppm?
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated
