So I started on Sunday with my ammonia cycle and used pure ammonia bought from ACE. This would be my third tank I’ve done with it, other two were successful with starting cycle this way.
Anyways I dosed ammonia according to this link to 2 PPM on Sunday. I didn’t test right away and tested just now, my reading using Salifert came back as .25 PPM. I have 180 lbs of dry rock in the tank and 80lbs of sand in the tank. The tank is 180 gallon but total water volume including sump is 165. Should I add more ammonia according to the link or go the raw shrimp method and take them out once I know my ammonia is at 2 PPM?
