My tank was set up for two months with live rock and live sand, and I hadn't realized I need ammonia to start the cycle.
Sunday I started adding ammonia as well as some of Dr Tim's starter bacteria (They can't hurt even if they don't help).
Last night I saw some nitrites and ammonia spiked a little bit. This morning nitrites are 0, ammonia is very low maybe 1 or 0.5ppm and no nitrates.
Should I test again later, or feed more ammonia to the bacteria? I know that too much can be dangerous so want to be careful.
