    But did you see an ammonia/nitrite spike in that time?

    I did, early in the cycle ammonia was at 1.0 ppm.
    after about 3 weeks it went down to 0.

    Also i saw a nitrite spike as well - i think highest it got was .05 then after the Ammonia fell it soon fell to 0.

    There isnt a lot of red hair algae, there are small patches i think the largest one is about an 1/8" in diameter.

    Only one peice of base rock has it.
