Well last night I tested the levels again - ammonia went down, no nitrites or nitrates. When the ammonia level goes down to almost zero I'll put another dose in to bring it back up to 4.0. I did clean out the frog bowl and dumped all the gook into the filter of the new aquarium. I waited an hour and tested again - same as before some ammonia, no nitrites or nitrates. Hopefully we'll get some bacteria in there soon.
It's gonna take some time. The best think you can do is keep the ammonia as consistent as possible at 4ppm. You don't want swings (from 4ppm, to 0ppm, to 4ppm, etc). Good luck!
