180 day 10 cycle update

[mkoop]

So Far not a whole lot happening, 10 days in, pH has sat between 8.2 and 8.0, ammonia has climbed and seemingly leveled out between 1-2ppm. No nitrites to report.

Hoping to see nitrites soon, that should be a nice little surprise but rocks seemingly have no changes, I see no signs of any growth on them.


Factors:
180DT
75 sump
180# dry lace rock
200# aragonite sand
30# fiji live
15# tonga live

i just got done cycling. so this is fresh to me. ur good for now. leave the shrimp until ur ammonia hits about 5ppm. then take it out and let the tank do its thing
