Hey everyone.
I am getting fish this weekend, and I am trying to finish the cycle. Right now, I have 0ppm ammonia, with 5ppm+ nitrites, and around 50ppm nitrates. I have added a couple droos of ammonia every couple of days, but about 2 weeks back I added a full dose (2ppm), and then about a week ago, I added half a dose, (1ppm). Like I said, I have added a couple drops of ammonia here and there, but not much. I would like to add a full dose today, so that way once it goes down, I can get fish, but I don't know if I should with over 5ppm nitrites. I know that it is not relevant to SW, but on the bottle, it says do not add more if ammonia or nitrites exceed 2ppm, which I am way last for nitrites. The bottle isn't for just SW, it is also for FW, so does it not matter for me, and can I add a full dose?
