It's a 40 breeder, no live sand, no live rock, using Dr Tims one and only. Day 4 with ammonia still at 1.2 with no change and nitrites at zero. Salinity 1.025 but can't keep the water temp above 76. Ordered to small of a heater. No filter socks, no skimmer but have activated carbon in the sump. When adding Dr Tims I left the pump off and let it all sink. Used 4 drops per gallon of the Ammonium Chloride and it seems like I just have a tank of ammonia water.
I had a 20 gallon tall about 15 years ago and cycled with live rock and damsel's and it ran great.
Any thoughts?
