Tested water parameters again today and the results are same as yesterday. I did purchase and add some Seacheam Reef Buffer since my saltmix only...
it seems to have gone away for the most part, still a couple small patches left. I am thinking it was just the decomposition of the organic material...
So I think I am through the first stage of the cycle, tested tonight and my ammonia is reading a 0 after 11days of being between .5-1ppm. Nitrite is...
IT was not actual live sand from a tank or from the ocean with water, it was the live sand in a bag that claims to still have beneficial bacteria...
Thanks took me a couple of days to figure it out, my first time setting up a SW tank wanted to get it right the first time. I am still tempted to add...

Tank has been set up for about 10 days now, ammonia has dropped some and is back at .5ppm from 1ppm but nitrites still high. Starting to see some...

More than 24 hours after adding the ammona and nitrites have both gone up- ammonia between .5-1 and nitrites between 2-5, ATI test kit doesnt have a...
As long as there is some ammonia present, even if only .25 or .5, I should not have to add anything correct? The dry rock from BRS was the Pukani...
I am hoping my fellow experienced reefers can help out a newbie like myself here. I am still months away from adding any coral to my tank since this...
No pics, IT is white looks like the same color as the rock. What would red mean?
On my cycling tank I set it up with all dry rock from BRS supply. The Pukani looks normal but the Tonga Brnach looks kind of fuzzy, the way a fungal...
