Plantpot Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I've started cycling my 16 gallon aquarium I've used Dr tims and ammonia to start but not sure if I'm reading my tests correctly, here's the results from the last 3 days can someone tell me if it looks right? Salinity is 1.025 and temp is 25.4 which I'm happy with. Quote Link to comment

Started with dry rock and caribsea live sand and added Dr tims one and only and Dr tims ammonia on the 13th then added more ammonia on the 14th but after I had already tested Quote Link to comment
paulsz Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 no need to add any more ammonia. You're good for now. Test daily until ammonia and nitrite hit 0. Then you can add a bit more ammonia (about 1 ppm) and see what happens after 24 hours. If ammonia and nitrite are 0 after 24 hours, you're ready to add a fish! 1 Quote Link to comment
