I just retested, about 22 hours after spiking with the ammonia. My ammonia is reading 1.5mg/l and nitrites at .3 mg/l. Obviously I'm on my way but I'm not done yet!!

So should I just keep adding the same amount as yesterday (1cc) every day until both tests read 0 after 24 hours?

On another question, in my little town there are two places to buy fish: Walmart and the LFS. Both places I have seen dead fish, although more at Walmart. The next nearest place to buy fish is 2 hours away. So, how do you quarantine if you have only one tank?
