I'm currently in step 2 of fishless cycling... It reads:
"--Now that ammonia reads zero after 24 hours, you will need the note that you made regarding your initial ammonia dose. However many drops/teaspoons you added initially, add that many again now. You will add this same dose every 2-3 days. Go for consistency, but it is ok if you forget or get busy and skip a day. It will not derail the processes that are happening. In addition, you do not have to add the dose at exactly the same time each day, but best to be somewhat consistent when adding and testing. Try to set aside a time each day for this."
So I added the second dose of ammonia, tested yesterday at about 1-2ppm, then today at the same reading. According to the above paragraph, I should be adding another dose today, but I'm still at 1-2ppm. Should I continue adding or wait for a 0 reading again?
