A bottle of ammonia is just a few dollars, you need ammonia of some kind to start the cycle or the tank will never cycle. Right now it is just a glas box with water. Test strips are not very good, you need a proper test kit. Don’t worry about the filters for now, cycling the tank is the first priority.I have not added amonia sir. Should I wash the dust out of my filters and add ammonia? A more recent and new test strips arrive tomorrow.
