DirkWeerstand Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Hi Guys, I am now running my tank for 5 days. On day one 1 i added jbl start up bacteria. On day 4 i added one small cube of frozen fishfood. Today i did my first measurements: Ph: 7.9 Amm: 0,05 Nitrite: 0,1 Nitrate: 8 Mag: 1040 Calc: 360 Since i have low ammonia and high nitrite, i am wondering if it is possible to run trough the cycle proces without having high ammonia levels. Or is this still to come? I am using real reef rock in the tank. Please help me out on where i stand right now in the cycle. Thanks in advance. Link to comment
CronicReefer Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Was it cured live rock? Also the cube of frozen food probably has not fully decayed in only one day so I would expect you to see the cycle continue. Link to comment
DirkWeerstand Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Check this website for the rock i used. http://realreefrock.com it is no live rock but it does have some of the good bacteria/elements. (At least that is what they claim) Link to comment
