Nightster's 29g build

Did you use cured LR ?

No nitrates ? Strange

I would retest with a different test kit from the LFS.

So it has been cycling for 12 days approximately?

 

Live sand with base rock from reef cleaners...

 

Yep the first results are from the day I put the shrimp in it.

 

Me I would give it another week, and retest. If everything checks out a 10% water change, then proceed with a cuc.

 

Well I had to put my cheato into my fuge, bc my hob fuge on my other tank stopped working. I also have maybe 4 limpets in there bc I was giving my other tank away, took my mag cleaner out of there and put it into my new tank and they caught a ride. The limpets wouldn't matter would they? The cheato would take care of any nitrates too correct? Just seems to short for my full cycle to be complete...

 

nice coming a long greatly

 

Thanks everyone for the kind words, let's hope this learning curve I'm on isn't a hard one lol.

 

Got my blueline tsunami at-1 top off unit today. Makes my life a lil easier lol.

Top fin water pump in sump

I would like to introduce 3reef to johnny and june. My new false percs, they are currently getting dripped on and should be in the tank in roughly an hour and a half.
