I'm doing a fishless cycle in my 5 gallon aquarium, and the water has been a milky white for almost a few days now. Is that normal? It's the first time I've ever done a fishless cycle.
I'm not sure if it's because there was just too much ammonia.
Originally, there was waaaay over 8ppm ammonia in there. I did a water change to drop that, and now it's at 8 ppm. I rubbed off some of that milky stuff from the inside walls too. Should I just keep changing the water out until it drops down to 5 ppm ammonia? I think I read on Missfisshy's thingermabob that that's how much ammonia you should put in there when doing the fishless.
