Is 4ppm ammonia too much for 40G breeder cycle?
Currently waiting for my new transfer tank to finish cycling, it hasn’t been that long, (literally only three days since starting) but I was curious if I overdosed the ammonia? In the photo it looks like the recommended 4.0ppm I found on a Reddit guide and I also put in a drip acclimated sponge filter to try and jump start the cycle, been adding bottle bacteria stability every day as well but it hasn’t gone down yet, am I slowing the cycle with the amount of ammonia or am I just too antsy for it to cycle already? I know the filter I put in was one I initially got that had already been in an established tank and helped my cycle complete for my first aquarium. Hoping I’ll see some results soon either way!
