Hello! I have started cycling my new 37 gallon FOWLR tank with pure ammonia from ACE since I saw that my LA’s Totally Awesome was a no go. So I am at the point where my ammonia is going down within 24 hours, High nitrites still, and nitrates are present. Today I put 2ml of the LA’s Totally Awesome in my tank on accident ‍♀️♀️♀️ No bubbles formed and I tested my water and it BARELY raised the Ammonia level. The bottle of LAs is like YEARS old. I then put a little of my pure ammonia in and now the level is fine. Did I totally screw up my cycle or will the one little dose of the LAs mean I have to start over? Guess I figure I’ll just monitor my levels and see what happens.
