Tom Smith how many times should you add more ammonia when it reaches 0 ppm? Also, how many drops to you think I need in a 10 gallon?

Aether ..Add ammonia every time test shows 0 to 1 ppm ammonia, keep on adding each day If ammonia shows 0 ppm , DONT add if it still show 2 ppm or over , wait until it drops to 1 ppm or less ..You keep this up until BOTH ammonia AND nitrite show 0 ppm , then your tank is cycled , you should then do a partial water change because the NITRATE will be showing, then you can add two or three fish at first , Danios would be a good choice they are fairly hardy ,whatever you add make it VERY few at first ..10 US gallons I’m not sure we use litres in the UK ..but measure 1US gallon and add a few drops ammonia and test it until you get a reading of 4 ppm, then base your amounts on that ie 10 times what you found in 1gallon , count the drops to achieve 4 ppm in 1 US gallon ..Good luck ...It takes patience and time that’s the key word lol ...Seachem Stability should help with the bacteria, use as instructed on bottle ..I did ..Also it seems to take ages for that ammonia to drop , but hang on in there .

Brad Larson ..That’s what theAPI master test kit is for ..Measure 1gallon into a container and add say 4 drops , test for ammonia, it will tell you how many PPM you have , aim for 4 ppm as a guide , if it’s lower add a couple more drops , test again until you get a reading of approx 4 ppm in that one gallon , all the time counting the total number of drops you’ve added , then you know how many drops to add to ten gallons , just ten times what it took for one gallon .

should be good, Ace sells the soap free stuff.

I am curious to see what your results were with this ammonia? What was your solution?

yo what happened??

Humans don't pee ammonia. We dispose of our nitrogenous wastes in the form of urea.

@@Lloyd_Christmas11 its a joke.

if your plants are eating the ammonia and converting it into nitrite , then it doesn't matter if you don't have enough bacteria because the plants will do the bacteria's job

Most of the time the soils that are used in planted tanks will start the cycle. Once the Ammonia drops to zero. Add more ammonia to the tank. If the Ammonia reads zero the next day then your tank is pretty much cycled. At that point I would do a water change and slowly start adding fish. Planted tanks are awesome for this reason and more research should be done if you’re starting a planted tank.

Wooooo! ACE IS THE PLACE with the helpful hardware man! ... and Ace's Janitorial Strength Formula Ammonia.

Btw they make adapter pieces to thread into your pvc you could have ran your pump right through the scaffolding and threaded a manifold for your water lines its in the same section you got your valves at lowes

It's unclear if you've watched the video because your question was answered. Hopefully my comment will make this very clear for you and others; YOU DO NOT WANT SCENTED YOU DO NOT WANT SURFACTANTS YOU DO NOT WANT BUBBLES. IF IT CONTAINS ANY OF THE ABOVE, IT MEANS THAT IT IS NOT PURE AMMONIA. It doesn't matter how long it's sat. Just because it doesn't bubble doesn't mean that it no longer contains surfactants. It just means those particular surfactants may be dormant.

Thanks for replying, I just wanted to ask to make sure. I'm definitely not using it. I got pure ammonia now.
