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.

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.
