I actually started by putting in a capful (5ml) every other day and taking nitrate and nitrite readings every day. I have put in 4 doses of pure ammonia so far and nitrites are about 3-4ppm and nitrates 20ppm. When do I stop adding ammonia? Should I back off the # of doses or amounts?

Sorry, I did'nt see your post until now.
