I dosed Nitrocycle to my new 200 gallon dry rock/dry sand system. They say 1 mL per gallon of Nitrocycle gets you to 3 ppm ammonia. I dosed about 135 mL. I tested ammonia using a Red Sea test kit which only goes up to 2 ppm and it was at least 2 ppm probably higher. I then dosed the recommended amount of Fritz Turbostart 900 (236 ml). It has been 3 days and my ammonia level hasn't changed, still testing at 2 ppm or higher since day 1. When should I expect my ammonia to start dropping? Should I dose more Turbostart?
Also, my alkalinity is being consumed which I think is a good sign.
