Thoughts? Normal?

25 hours ago I dosed Dr Tim's One and Only bacteria and ammonia up to 2.0ppm.

What do you guys think?

Good Start! once that ammonia hits 0 looks like you'll be good to go!!

 

[NakiFantaki]

Thanks! It has already cut in half since the first dose.. hoping by tomorrow it will be at 0. Should I re dose a second time just to make sure the ammonia will be cleared in a 24 hour period?

You can keep dosing ammonia if you'd like to keep the bacterial population growing until you add a fish, ive gone with the method where i put a shrimp in and let it sit and decay, and I've used the ghost feeding method as well

Awesome! Thanks! When should I expect the "ugly" phase of the tank?

 

[Oscar47f]

That all depends on the amount of live stock you add the first time and the amount you feed and the amount your filtration can take out lol probably 2-4 weeks from now you'll see dino algae, and other ugly stuff
