This just helped me so much, thank you Brandon429. Much respect very intelligent.That appears as .5 ammonia but we know it’s not, you just changed the water. Perfect illustration of api over read. Even if fish is in the tank, you don’t have ammonia above thousandths ppm. whats keeping it from rising to lethal levels is bacteria on the rocks
I'm cycling my tank (first tank in years so feeling like a newbie once again as everything has changed). I'm on day 7 after dosing with Dr. Tim's and ammonia per his directions at first. Day 2 nothing added, day 3 more ammonia, day 4/5 nothing added. His directions would have had me dose on day 6 but ammonia was at 2ppm where he advised to hold. They remain at 2 today (day 7). Nitrates have slowly been rising and now are at 1ppm with Nitrates at 2ppm (assuming my Red Sea test kit is reliable). Do I just hold on ammonia and let the process work or do I need to do a water change if the ammonia level doesn't decline?
