I just started cycling a new tank. Not really new but my red devil passed after many years and I haven't cycled a tank in six years. I'm starting a 55 gallon community. I had some gravel and filter media from the old tank. I have been putting five drops of pure amonia in each day for the last four days and haven't seen any amonia at all when testing. No nitrates or nitrites to speak of either.
Is it possible the media and gravel could have had enough bacteria in them or have I just not seen the amonia present because it's too early? I'm running an Emperor Bio Wheel 400 and an AC 50.
Thanks
