    Hi Sabrina ;
    One of the big lessons i have learned dealing with discus is the fact that you do need to have patience and not be compulsive .
    Good luck

    Hi Sayid,

    Yes indeed, I agree. I need to contain my excitement..

    How will I know how much Ammonia to add to the tank? Ive never done this before. I have just added some more filter media from my small tank to the new HOB this morning, to keep the bacteria alive. I did a test last night, following is the results.

    PH 7.6
    HRPH 7.4
    Ammonia 0.50
    Nitrite 0.50
    Nitrate 10

    I am going to order the Seachem Purigen tomorrow, hopefully it will only take a couple of days to arrive. The only things in the new HOB atm are ceramic bio rings and sponge filter floss and 2 small bits of filter media from my small cycled tank.. Which I hope will be the bacteria colony for the ammonia I buy tomorrow. Not sure how its going to work seeing I have used the bottled bio booster already though.

    Also, Prime has been added to the tank last week, which on the instructions for ammonia fishless cycle it says not to add it.. Am I going to be wasting my time trying to now start the ammonia fishless cycle after everything I have done so far?

    You only need ammonia right now Sabrina, no need for anything else.
    Why me ?

    HI guys,

    Is this ok? It says on the side Contains: Ammonia 20g/l... But its called cloudy ammonia?
    It was all I could find, I went to the hardware stores and they only had the cloudy ammonia too.. I might have to travel to another town if this stuff is wrong..

    Please note, the ammonia above does not foam or have any bubbles when its shaken up. I'm reading that cloudy ammonia has soap in it but I don't think the above one does have any soap.

    EDIT: I am waiting on a call back from the manufactures of this product...

    This is ok to use Sabrina, you can do some of your own searches about different ammonia for fishless cycles, and this one is ok.
    Why me ?
