Fishless Cycle 10 Gallon Update

[imma24]

Perfect three drops of ammonia dosing coming right up.

Then the big massive water change is the day of the fish adding or should it be a day before with an additional partial WC the day of fish?

One change is all that's needed, right before you add the fish.

Do one big W/C the day you add the fish and you'll be fine.

The ammo in this tank looked like a very light .25 reading today but it wasn't the true yellow of a Zero reading. Should i dose this tank as it's cycled and i'm still feeding it ammo til i get fish or not?

Changed the water fifty percent in this tank today due to High NitrAtes. redosed with two drops ammo since i still haven't gotten my fish yet.

Still monitoring.

I'm almost tempted to make this fishless cycle tank a cherry shrimp tank and putting the 6 ember tetras or 6 gold/white tetras in the oto tank (knocked the number down and will possibly add more later but i wanted it a gradual check on bioload in the oto tank).
