I'm not knew to the hobby, but have always used live rock to start tanks... this time I used all dry rock and added ammonia..
So 2 weeks ago I added a bottle of Dr Tims one and only and pure ammonia up to 2ppm...
Waited a few days tested and ammonia was at .5ppm... checked nitrites and none...
Tested a week later and ammonia at. .25ppm and nitrites had shown up..
Tested a week later and ammonia still at the same level .25...
I know I still have a ways to go and I'm ok with that, but should I add more ammonia, or just wait until it drops to zero? Or do I need to add any more ammonia anytime at all?
Thanks for the help...
