Hi all,
I put in Dr. Tim’s one and only about 36 hrs ago and have not seen a change in my Ammonia, nitrite, or nitrate levels.
I think the big mistake I made was adding Dr. Tim’s Ammonia first before I added the bacteria itself. I dosed enough to get to 2 PPM then put in the bacteria.
I tested 24 hrs after I put in the bacteria and saw 2 PPM Ammonia on an API test kit. I went to the LFS to double check and got the same reading. I ended up purchasing bio spira and dropping it in last night in a panic thinking one and only was DOA as it has been very hot (may have gotten too hot during shipping I guess)
Any idea what to do now? I also got an ammonia badge that read this as soon as I put it in and it has not changed over the last 12 hrs.
I’m really in a panic thinking I nuked my tank from the start [emoji29].
