I guys,
Here to give updates on my cycling because i am just making sure all is going as normal. I've had my tank up for 2 weeks now. I have tested about every 2-3 days. Here are the levels currently: .8 ammonia (i think, see later comment) .2 nitrites, 0 nitrates, ph 7.8 and salinity 1.024.
(dead rocks, live sand, lots of powerheads, no skimmer or lights on right now)
I think my ammonia test kit is bad (it's brand new though!) the test chip says the colors range from yellow-green to green, my water keeps showing up as blue-green. It's a powder test kit and i hate it. I didn't really pay attention when i bought it and i should've. i wish i had the same brand as my old test kit i used 5 years ago, it had drops. I'm going to pick up another test kit tomorrow that has drops by API or Red Sea. The instant ocean one sucks in my opinion. Anyhow, you're thoughts on how the cycling is progressing would be appreciated!
