so as far as cycling where am i at i havent had any alege blooms at all and some of my rock is starting not to look right im getting kind of worried.My local fich store when i had them test my water said my tank was cycled but i havent had anysort of alege bloom.


Also does any1 have a hagen calcium test kit? It tells you to keep adding subtance 3 until the water turns violet and i was about 30 drops in and no water color change whats going on?

First... did you ever see an amonia spike? If so, then you're almost done w/the cycle. When amonia and nitrites are 0, its done.

2nd, you dont always get algae...just usually. My last tank didnt really have any since all the rock i used was from existing tanks so it was already cycled...maybe yours is like this...the rock may have already been cured.

What tests are you using that are showing nitrites.??
