    So its been 3 days sense I have the lr in there and here are my results.
    3.3 nitrite, but it was extremely dark so might be much higher.
    6.1 ammonia

    So things be happening. Just bored and wanted to share.

    Surprised that the cycle damsel can survive but I guess that is why people use them for this.

    I think damsels are the cockroaches of the sea, they could survive nuclear fallout

    while damsels are hardy and I cycled with one, you should wait for the nitrite to begin falling before adding him. ps. you must have had a lot of organic stuff on the rock, my ammonia never showed and nitrite only went to 1 ppm
