Cycling For 1 Week...

[fUbAr]

My 20g tank has been fishless cycling for 1 week using the add and wait method. Last saturday i added 5ppm of ammonia. Over the week i havent noticed any change in the ammonia reading of the water.

how long should it take to see a change? Im using the master freshwater test kit.

i have the 2 standard foam media in my fluval 2+ filter, along with the fine filter media... do i need the fine media in there for cycling?

thanks

My Fluval Uno 600 (63 litres) with the fluval plus 2 filter took nearly 6 weeks to cycle using the add & wait method. For the first 3 weeks the readings didn't change at all, then during week 4 they started creeping up then at the end of week 4 they peaked.

Have patience, it'll be worth the wait.
