Thanks for the input, just tested her 3.5g tank and the ammonia = 0, Nitrate = 0, PH = ~7.5, and Nitrate = ~6.0 I'm going to use some filter media from her tank to seed my 12g fishless cycle tank. Thanks.

Thanks for the Info., I guess it would make sense to first test her water in the tank and see what the quality is like? She has never tested the water in her tank before, except for PH about a month ago.

Please let me know if the ADF tanks need to cycle. Also my freind's 3.5 ADF tank has been setup and running for about a month with 3 frogs and they are doing great. Can I use some filter media from her tank to seed my new tank that I am doing a fishless cycle on? Any advice would be...

Thanks FHM, I bought the API test kit today and that what I will stick with.

Thanks Tolak, I sent the message.

Thanks

Great thanks, any idea about how many posts? The sooner I get mature filter media, the sooner my tank finishes cycling.

I tried to contact wuvmybetta from the pinned list for filter media, but it errors out and says I can't send a message. Any ideas? Thanks.

OK sounds good, I'll look into it. Oh yeah forgot to mention one thing, I'm currently unemployed so cost plays a big part in this.

Great! So now I know that I might be +/- 0.5 on the ammonia readings. :)

Well API was recommended to me on this forum... (Check the beginning of this thread.)

Thanks for the great Info. wd, I believe after 2 more water changes I now have the level around 4 to 5 PPM. Now all I need is a little of patience, and to find someone in the Fort Worth area to get some seed material for the tank.

OK so I went to my lfs and bought the API freshwater Master Test Kit and did a test...it shows my ammonia at 8.0 PPM. I just did a 50% water change and will retest...to be continued.

I did not add 1.2 gallons of ammonia, probably in the neighborhood of 5 to 6 tablespoons of a 10% solution. The bottle of ammonia I bought ( Ace Hardware) says "contains 10% Ammonium Hydroxide". Last night I did a 50% water change, and this morning there was still a strong smell of ammonia so I...

I am new to this forum, I have started a 12 gallon tank...No fish I am adding 10% ammonia using a Seachem ammonia alert to monitor the level. I'm wondering if I have now added too much ammonia. When I take off the lid of the tank there is a really strong ammonia smell, is this normal?? Thanks.
