Default Re: 29 Gallon Tank of Patience

Today's numbers:

Nitrate: 10 ppm
Nitrite: 4 ppm
Ammonia: ~5 ppm

It looks like I'm getting a nitrite spike, which means my tank is cycling, I guess. Ammonia is still high, though. I've only added one capful of ammonia from the hardware store. Should I be adding a capful every day, even though the ammonia level isn't going down yet? One source I've been looking at says to add ammonia every day once you've figured out how much it takes to get it to ~5 ppm, but it's at 5 ppm already from ammonia I added several days ago.
