My question is that I read that you need to keep adding ammonia every day because if you don't, you will starve your bacterial colonies, is that true? The thread I just read on the forum says that once your aquarium starts using ammonia within 24 hours, you need to focus on reducing nitrites rather than adding ammonia.
In addition, I have heard a lot of contradictory advice about changing the water. This forum says that they need to be done, and many others say that this is not necessary. I'm also running out of Dr. Tim's ammonium soon, and the next bottle won't be here until early November, will that stop my cycle too?
I also read that taking a "squeeze" from my installed aquarium with tropical fish will greatly help in the production of beneficial bacteria, has anyone done this?
