Hi guys I've started to fishless cycle my 130 litre tank I've turned the heating up to 28 degree's as I have read this is the best temperature for bacteria to grow. I'm adding jeyes kleen off multi-purpose ammonia now my problem is according to these ammonia calculators I should add 4ml to get my ammonia reading to 3ppm but I've so far added 7ml and it's still reading <0,05 can anyone offer me any assistance to why it isn't rising to 3ppm????

5 drops of this liquid into 10 Litres (2.6 US G.) of water will give you ~1ppm TA total ammonia reading.

Ammonium hydroxide (ammonia, NH3) comes in various concentrations. The calculator should say what strength it' designed for.

Dose to the ppm that your test kit reads. Forget about the calculator.
