My ammonia is at 2.0 and everything else is at 0.....what do I do now??

If you added bacteria to your tank nothing to do but wait until you see no ammonia. Could be couple days or a couple weeks.

Yes, we’ll I used Dr Tim’s one and only Friday and after 30 minutes of putting it in I also put ammonia chloride that came with the product, I’m running my penguin 350 right now and a power head I have my skimmer off

HOB filter... reminds me of my first tank back in the 80's (killed everything I put in that tank). Don't be in a hurry, slow and steady wins the race.

Just part of the cycle, those numbers will go down as the bacteria in your tank grows to process it.

Hey I noticed you are just starting out. As you continue you're going to notice that those test kits should get you through the beginning but I would switch to something more reliable as soon as you can here are some test kits that are more accurate in case you want to invest now or down the road. happy reefing!
