Hello I recently set up a 40 AIO and was using SEED bacteria, then added few pieces of live rock. My friend told me to add some ammonia into the tank so I tried dr. Tims ammonia chloride which raised my level to 1ppm, after that I added dr Tims one and only bacteria ( yes I know this was reverse but I don't think it will matter ) Currently its been 4 days and I have not seen any decrease in ammonia levels is this normal? I have never had this take this long before so Iam at odds with whats going on.
notes- Rock used was dry STAX rock with some live rock
ph is 7.8 or little higher
using API test kit which I never ever had a issue with
the tank is bare bottom
