well ive got my 5.5 gallon set up. I've got some Lilaeopsis Mauritius and some Java Moss. This tank has just been running with MTS for 2-3 weeks and just ysterday i got around to buying test kits and ammonia. Yesterday i added somewhere around 3 mL of ammonia to get to the desired level of around 4-5 ppm. this morning i got Ammonia-4 and Nitrite-.25 just to get into habit of adding ammonia i went ahead and just added another mL of ammonia.
nitrite is still up around 5+ so i still probably have a while. and I added some java moss
