I just tested my Nitrite levels and they are still at zero but my ammonia level is like 2.5-3 ppm...What am i supposed to do now? I have a 20 gallon tank so im adding 10 drops of pure ammonia everyday. Do i stop adding ammonia and just wait for it to drop? After that, do i cut the amount of drops in half (5 drops) to get a nitrite spike? I have ask this type of question recently but i didn't get an answers to what i was asking. Please just answer what im asking please.
Ianab: People say when ammonia drops to zero add half the amount of ammonia to what you added before. So for me it would be 5 drops. Are u saying this or are u saying to keep adding 10 drops cuz from what i have herd, you cut the amount if half when ammonia drops to 0.
 
ok friend... why are you adding ammonia? you want your ammonia levels to be low. and you also don't want a nitrite spike! why would you want to increase these things?
