    I posted a link earlier to the brand of test kits I recommend. The ammonia can come in the form of either buying a commercial form, or just adding a small amount of fish food each day, or a whole shrimp.

    I expect that should work. Some folks might suggest getting some food that's more ocean based.

    We usually suggest adding one fish at a time to new/immature systems.I would monitor ammonia and nitrite.Feed sparingly to avoid a disaster.
