I have today started the fishless cycle and addded ammonia. I know from reading the stuff on here that I am supposed to add enough to take the level up to 5 but there isnt a 5 on the colour cards I have. It has a 4 and an 8.
I added enough to take it over the colour 4 but I dont know what the reading is and if I have added too much. How do you know if it is 4 or not?
I dont know if this will help you at all elj but I have not long finished my
fishless cycle. I topped the tank up to the 4 mark and it worked ok. I was worried in case I had overdoesed the tank at one stage because it is hard to jusdge (at least I thought it was) what is just a bit over 4.
What I did in the end was take the level up to the 4 mark instead of trying to figure out what colour was 5 and it worked well, the tank got cycled in the end.
Main thing I found was that I panicked if it wasnt going as quick as I thought it should be and I kept coming on here and asking questions all the time, so dont worry about asking questions because you will always get help.
