Ok Im a newbie here and got a question. Im on day 11 cycling with Dr. Tims bacteria and ammonia and ammonia is 0 nitrites are 4 and nitrates are .40. Question is should I add more ammonia so those bacteria die or should I leave ammonia at 0 til nitrites drop?
 
Personally I would wait it out, you're almost done.

If you mean "should you add ammonia so the bacteria don't die", the bacteria lasts a long time, I believe its been proven they can survive months.

Thank you. That was what I was thinking but just wanted to make sure.
