Hi guys,
I'm new to the hobby iv had my peninsula mini 25 running for about 2 weeks now.
I used dr tims one and only to kick start the cycle and added dr tims ammonium chloride also as recommended. After a day it seemed the ammonia was dropping so I added some more ammonium chloride as recommended. Since then amonia levels have been at 2ppm or more and have not come down at all. As well as testing for ammonia iv been testing for nitrite and nitrate and these have both been 0 since the start right up untill now. I have done a 50 percent water change about 4 days ago now to bring down the ammonia which it has but I'm still seeing some ammonia but no nitrite or nitrates, can anyone tell me if I am doing something wrong or if I am on the right track.
Thanks in advanced
