I have ACE Ammonia laying around. I have an AquaClear 20. 2 425 gph nano powerheads and a 100W heater.
I dosed enough ammonia to make 3ppm.
I've cycled freshwater tanks before, never a saltwater. So I want to make sure I have the process right.
Dose ammonia.
Wait for ammonia to drop (currently reading 2ppm+) per Red Sea.
Once ammonia drops, test for nitrites. Re-dose back to 3ppm
Continue to redose back to 3ppm until ammonia and nitrites are both 0.
Redose 2ppm ammonia, if ammonia and nitrites are at 0 in 24 hours, I'm cycled.
Yes?
