I just set up my 10 gallon tank to do a fishless cycle on Monday. I filled the tank with water, set the heater to 80 °F, added DrTim's Aquatics Ammonium chloride and Seachem Stability. I thought my sponge filter was going to arrive on Monday but it's actually going to be delivered tomorrow, so I currently don't have a filter yet. Here are my parameters:
5/15 Tuesday
pH 6.4
Ammonia 1.0 ppm
Nitrate 0
Nitrite 0
5/16 Wednesday (today)
ph 6.6
Ammonia 2.0 ppm
Nitrate 0
Nitrite 0
The tank also has a few plants: java moss glued to a rock, 3 small anubias plants and two marimo moss balls. Once the tank is cycled, I plan to put a betta fish and a snail.
Should I be adding Seachem Stability everyday to increase the bacteria and help the tank cycle faster? Is 80 °F a high enough temperature to cycle the tank?
Also, I have the tank light on for 6 hours a day for the plants.
