If you are doing a fishless cycle you need a form of ammonia, you can get pure ammonia from a chemist or hardware store, even better if you have a friend in fishkeeping he could help you, what do you need to alter the ph for as it not a wise decision.

I'm on my 20th day of fishless cycling and my nitrite has been .5 for 4 days. One thing I suggest is you got to have patience.
