11 day old tank

lv rock only

 

or possible the dreaded aiptasia. lol

 

thats good to know thanks

 

it doesnt sound like you have started a cycle. i would throw a small piece of raw shrimp in there to start the cycle.

 

what is a aiptasia?

 

i will get some shrimp my tnk is a 36 how manny would u add

 

just one. let it sit in there, dont take it out. your tank will build up bacteria to break it down. you will see your numbers start to spike. when amm and nitrites go back to 0, and your nitrates start to fall, you will be good to go.

 

one good sized raw shrimp should be fine. aiptasia is a "weed". in the anemone family i believe and will spread. theres some store bought remedies you can use , or some make their own home one. lemon juices injected into the stem.

 

Thanks for all ur help!!!!
