    I was hoping that it would be cycled, but it's best not to rush anything. Thanks :)

    Just got my water tested yesterday. There are nitrites and some nitrates, so another week or two and hope fully it'll ready for some livestock :)

    Just got another water test and it looks like nitrites are at their peak. I also picked up another bottle of Microbacter7 to aid the cycle. And so the waiting continues........

    The time has come

    So finally, after over three months, nothing is showing except nitrate :) Planning on doing a 15 gallon water change tomorrow and adding some sort of fish this weekend, as well as transferring a few corals from my other tank. PROGRESS :D
