29 gal build

yes ;D

 

I still, need to put a gallon of water in my tank, but the water level is high enough to run all my pumps. I’ll upload a video on youtube later tonight.

 

Well let's see it! Lol

 

the water is still murky

 

I just got my water tested. I didn’t get the exact numbers (because it doesn’t matter at this point.)

Ph 8.1
Ammonia 0 confused
Nitrite a lot!
Nitrate a little

They said my cycle would probably be over in 1 or 2 weeks. Does that sound about right?

 

Finally!

I just got my water tested.
Ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate were all 0!
I had some store credit. So I got a chocolate chip starfish, and a peppermint shrimp. I’ll upload some pics later.

 

shrimp


starfish

I’ll get a better pic of the star later tonight.

 

If your ammonia never spiked your in for some trouble if your adding things. I dont think your tank cycled yet. I had a ten gallon that took 4 weeks. Also I'd get rid of the hydro meter and get a refractometer. Hydrometers are about as accurate as you tasting the water to see if its salty enough.

 

PS Idk if you plan on getting coral but I believe chocolate stars eat coral

 

Ammonia did spike.

I’m not getting any coral. Just an anemone in 8-12 months. Then I’ll just trade it in, or put it in a deferent tank.
