Cycle Started

My new light came today and I stopped and bought a few plants on the way home.  I got the plants planted and the filter, heater, and air pump going.  The water turned cloudy overnight tho.  I hope it clears up quickly.  Per, the fishless cycle guide I'm following, I dosed it with pure ammonia, about 7ml worth, and now I'm just waiting for it to circulate to test my water.  It needs to be 4ppm to make this work and grow beneficial bacteria.  Edit: I got it to 4ppm first try!
