Well I started about a week now fishless cycling. Im using the add and wait method by adding ammonia directly and waiting to see the level drop.
Currently Im at 4ppm of ammonia and I have been at this level I think pretty much all week. I have not added any ammonia and my temp is about 83F. The water is real warm and I have an air stone, too. I dont notice any drops in ammonia, but just want to make sure things are normal. My family is growing increasingly impatient about a real nicely decorated 50 gallon tank that has been empty now for almost a month.
Im pretty sure Im doing things right, I jsut really want to see an ammonia drop to know bacteria is growing.
