ammonia

[fishyyy]

I started doing a fishless cycle on my tank on saturday. I put in 5 drops of ammonia.
I didnt test the water on sunday, and i put in 5 more drops.
I tested the ammonia on monday. It was somewhere between .5 and 1.

What should i do?? Should i add more ammonia??

i would add enough to get the level up to 5ppm. and then remember this ammount and keep adding this same amount of ammonia every day regardless of your readings until you get some nitrIte reading and then cut your dose in half until all levels are 0.
