yea so :frustrat: I set up my tank and added some instant ocean gel brine shrimp a week before I bought my test kit then I added some live rock that had a hole bunch of hitch hikers so when I get my test kit I get ph=8.2,amonia=0.25,nitrite=0,nitrate=10 so I said yeah it has started to cycle so now a week later I test again and water conditions r exactly the same wtf:grumble: I look around I see the bristleworms,starfish,zoanthids and polyps all doing perfectly fine so I said maybe that wasnt enought to kickstart the cycle so I add a whole bunch more food to kickstart the cycle wait 2 more days and water conditions r exactly the same!!!:frustrat: so whats up test kit is evil,that food isnt good enought to start a cycle or the population of bristleworms,spinoids,and starfish r eating everything before it breaks down?
