I'll take it. I know dr tims says to doze ammonia but that just doesn't make sense. Like that can't possibly speed the process up.Let it go. Do a water change in a bit and add fish.

Day 8 of Dr. Tims fishless cycle, Ammonia and Nitrite are both below 1ppm. Should I dose ammonia again or let it go?
I would not add a fish. Dosing extra ammonia helps wake up bacteria and the more food you provide them, the stronger and more there will be when you actually add fish. So don’t add a fish yet. If you have been following the instructions online, keep doing so. If not re dose ammonia. DO NOT do a water change as there is no need for one and that would just stall the cycle.I'll take it.

You will learn to be patient in this hobby, nothing rushed will have good end results
Yes, I agree they can handle a fish immediately however there’s really no point in stressing out a fish. OP likely doesn’t want to stress one since they went fishless instead of fish inA water change will not stall a cycle. These bottles are able to handle a fish as long as it’s not a ton of fish in a tiny tank right away.

and I believe water changing would stall since you remove ammonia that should be processed by bacteria. Let the ammonia bottom out over time, there’s no need to rush
Yeah, we all have different methods. None are wrong, but as long as EVERYBODY is patient then danger is minimizedMy point was it won't stress out a fish if you get the right size bottle and just one fish or so, especially in anything but the smallest tanks. I do agree with you it is best not to rush
