Hey guys,
I recently setup a 125g in my living room ands am in the process of cycling the tank. Here are the steps I have taken:
1. Friday (4/8/2016) I added live sand and put a couple of pieces of live rock in the tank. Skimmer is off, mechanical filtration is off.
2. Saturday (4/9/2016) I continued to let the tank run without fish.
3. Sunday (4/10/2016) I tested the water: Nitrate: 0, Nitrite: 0, Alkalinity: 190, PH: 8.3, Ammonia: 0ppm. Based on these results I added StartSmatrt Complete to the tank. I also added 2 clown fish.
4. Monday (4/11/2016): I tested the water again. Results where the same.
5. Today (4/12/2016): I tested the water again. Results are shown below.
So I am just wondering where I am at in the cycling process and when i can add a clean up crew.
