kguske2 Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 mehhhhh :pSee any nitrite or nitrate yet? Don't have a nitrite kit, haven't tested nitrate since Monday. Probably should! Ammonia keeps going down so it's going somewhere! 1 Quote Link to comment
Lawnman Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Nitrite then nitrate if you forgot. When I cycled my Pico tank my nitrite went thru the roof and it took 4-5 days to drop. Quote Link to comment

I remember! Figured I didn't need to test nitrite and I'll just wait till I see nitrate and I'll know nitrite happened 1 Quote Link to comment

Kijho Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I really love your scape!! The "grotto" style (I'm not sure the name is right), is beautiful when it had depth and height.. I love it!! Very nicely done! Can't wait to see your progress with this!! Quote Link to comment

I love it!! Very nicely done! Can't wait to see your progress with this!! Thanks! It didn't turn out quite how I wanted but close enough that I stopped messing with it. Ready to get some corals to cover it though 3 Quote Link to comment
Chris! Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 That scape looks like you can cram a good assortment in there. Looks good so far Kurtis I used Dr. Tims, and mb7.... I didn't test anything but I took my sweet time doing anything with the DT too.... but I set up a frag tank last minute and added stuff the next day with 0 issues with adding Dr. Tims and Mb7... again no testing so maybe if you don't know your waters not ready the corals wont either 1 Quote Link to comment

kguske2 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Time to test ammonia to see how much it's processing in a day and we'll be all clear to takeoff! Except the tank is still sitting on a dresser in our guest room 2 Quote Link to comment
