Looks great! I like the elevated portion too. I plan to do that to my rock one day (hopefully sooner vs later).
Thanks! I always hated the idea of dead spots, even in relation to the sand.Looks great! I like the elevated portion too. I plan to do that to my rock one day (hopefully sooner vs later).
If you look closely at the background, you’ll see my super duper DIY LED fixture I made way back when. Several of the diodes had to be replaced, but I finished it up last night. We’re so close, I can taste it!Woo hoo!!
Yep, I see it.If you look closely at the background, you’ll see my super duper DIY LED fixture I made way back when. Several of the diodes had to be replaced, but I finished it up last night. We’re so close, I can taste it!
Never done a fishless cycle…oh wait, that’s a lie. I’ve done cycles using live rock. But I don’t have experience cycling with bacterial products.This is my first time doing this fishless cycle business. I’m trying to be patient, but the ammonia hasn’t budged, and still no detectable nitrite. Am I expecting too much too soon??
Yes, the first kit was ten years old . I got a new one and it’s showing the same results.Yep, seems strange. Have to tested the nitrites with more than one test kit? I'm wondering if you have a bad test kit?
Did I miss what bacteria you chose to use for the cycle?
I’ll give it another day and test ammonia again tomorrow. Granted the water change will reduce it a little, but if the test says anything near zero, I’ll go ahead and move some livestockI believe @Dr. Reef uses Fritz to instant cycle his tanks adding fish I believe almost immediately after. So it may be completely cycled and the ammonia reading is an error? Just thoughts.
