Even with high level of ammonia (it was darker than the highest level of Sera ammonia test kit; more than 10ppm), I should leave the tank to cycle?
Cause I was reading, the bacteria cannot high level of ammonia, hence all the wc to bring it down and also to clean the tank.
Right now the tank is constant at 5ppm ammonia, 0.5 nitrite and 10ppm of nitrate (suspect this is from tap, as I tested my tap and showed 10ppm of nitrate)
Currently dosing seachem stability and not doing any more wc. Only cleaning the inlet sponge and topping up water.
