Do i keep addining ammonia?

[endlessrealm]

I added 2 fritz turbo start 900 2 weeks ago, and i added live rocks from tampa bay 2 days ago 16 pounds its a 200g system. Thats my results right now. Do i keep adding ammonia as its 9 now? Nitrate i have its 5 i just didnt take a pic for it. Nitrite being stubborn to go down. But i have nitrate so its converting slowly. But since ammonia is 0 do i more ammonia?

Your tanknis cycled but you can double check by adding some ammonia and if it's 0 24 hours later you know tank is cycling especially if you show nitrate production. Nitrites are irrelevant in reef tank and do not need to be tested.

We covered this cycle is done in a prior post, so no need to keep adding ammonia

youre in the stage of choosing what disease plan to apply to prevent fish kills via disease, Fritz is 48 hour bacteria.

Nitrite may be converting slowly, but nitrite also falsely reads as nitrate in most test kits, so you may not have any nitrate.

That said, ammonia is the only toxicity concern when cycling.
