Yesterday I stop at the Fish market on Clybourn and pick up two huge pieces of Shrimp to start my Cycle off- I am going fishless cycle route becasue I don't like putting fish thru the stress of Ammonia- Which this has always been a debate ( but don't want to Debate on this save it for another Thread). Anyhow drop them in yesterday and not they are ever so patiently waing to decompose...lol
Cycle begins
Got some Skim but I just think its from all the Sand Dust

Cycle Begins
Cycle Begins
I took readings tonight and Cycle has started- Have a couple questions becasue it's been 4 years since I've cycled a new Tank. But I will show you my readings
Ammonia 0.50PPM
Nitrates 0.0ppm
Nitrites 0.0ppm
PH 8.0 lights just went out but
Anyhow was wondering to get some clarity in my water cause it's still a little cloudy should I run some Carbon? Or can I run Carbon while cycling? Also I have my skimmer running but I know it would not effect the cycle that much at least I hope.
Let me know what you guys thinks
Thanks
Frankie

Cycle Update
Cycle Update
Well today testing seems to be higher from the last and looks like everything is moving along just fine- Readings are as follows
Ammonia-3.0PPM
Nitrites-5.0PPM
Nitrate-10PPM
Colors are not exact but you get the idea.. :spin1:
Just hope this keeps moving right along

Stock list options
Stock list options
Well I have come up with a Stock list just wondering what should I take out or add. First just wondering if I should add any or at all any Tangs- I really don't care what the Tang police has to say becasue I am pretty sure they don't follow there own rules-
Clowns are up in the air I have no clue but looking for maybe Onyx or something cool if I can't find anything else.
Mystery Wrasse or Fariy Wrasses
Anthias- Maybe some Squimies or Red spotted Cardinals
Gobie- Nano Size
Blennie- Like the Bi-color
Pygmy Angel Fish
Might be a ton of fish but most are going to be nano size or small I know The Anthias might take up the most space but they will add color in the tank and I have a Huge Skimmer on this system so it will be able to carry the bio-load plus.
Let me know if I should change anything or if you have suggestions

Took more readings tonight- The tank has been cycling for over a week now and everything seems to be cycling pretty well...
Ammonia 0.50ppm
Nitrate 40ppm
Nitrite 2.0ppm
The nitrites are coming down along with the Ammonia reading which was @ 2.0ppm for about 5days... Hopefully this cycle last for another 1 week 1/2 or so but I can wait for a little bit longer of needed before added any fish...

contemplating new tanks
One of the guys at ORA said they will soon be selling the green banded goby. As a company, they're focusing more on nano-safe species.
BTW, what are you seeing for a pH first thing in the morning? 8.0 is pretty low for end of the day.

Not really concern about PH at the moment since everything is out of Whack but PH 8.0 was when the lights where out so I am pretty sure it was higher before the lights went out. But in any case not to concerned about PH being a problem I always had it around 7.8 to 8.0 in the day time could never get it higher that 8.1 or 8.2

Been almost 4 days since I checked my readings today more progress
Ammonia 0.0ppm

Hopefully in a few more days this should be completed then I will check if any Ammonia Spike will occur once I throw some food in to see if I get an Ammonia Spike- if all is good them the real Fun Starts.... :bounce2::bounce3::bounce1::hammer:
