It looks to me like you already have a fair amount of Ammonia present. How did you begin your cycling process? By the way, is that an API test kit?
This is a Fluval Test kit and on the 2nd day of the cycle my ammonia read 6.1ppm. I waited until the ammonia would drop to 1ppm. I have waited about 6 days. Today is the 7th day of waiting and my ammonia is 2.4ppm.It looks to me like you already have a fair amount of Ammonia present. How did you begin your cycling process?

Wait, so ammonia increased from 1 to 2.4ppm since yesterday? Did you dose any ammonia yesterday?This is a Fluval Test kit and on the 2nd day of the cycle my ammonia read 6.1ppm.

No, I just waited until it would drop to 1ppm or 2ppm. Today I tested my ammonia and its around 2ppm, that's why I'm thinking if I should add some ammonia. Other have said to wait so thats what I'll do.Wait, so ammonia increased from 1 to 2.4ppm since yesterday? Did you dose any ammonia yesterday?
think he means he was going to wait till it got to 1ppm.
Ah right, gotchas. Yes just wait for ammonia to drop to 0. According to Dr. Tim: https://www.drtimsaquatics.com/resources/fishless-cycling/, you should be measuring nitrites too if not already, as apparently high enough levels of nitrite can significantly inhibit nitrification.No, I just waited until it would drop to 1ppm or 2ppm.
