[lilmatty5dimes]

[JustinsReefTank]

Thanks! I just wanta keep the rocks simple. They probably won't even swim there... "my luck".

 

[ZyberGoby]

Vary nice bro :D can't wait to see the final project

 

[JustinsReefTank]

So my ammonia has reached the .50 mark maybe 1... So the official cycle has started!!! Yayyyyyy

 

[ZyberGoby]

Woot woot get your cycle on :D and do the frag dance hahaha....

 

[JustinsReefTank]

So I clean the glass today to stir up all the stuff. Well I obviously have an enormous amount of copapods in the tank. I went out with the family for about three hours and come back and the Lil buggers are stuck to the glass already. I mean covered. So I guess the corals and nemos will have Plenty of natural food.

 

[Mr.D]

Yummy! Copepods: the breakfast, lunch, and dinner of champions!

 

[JustinsReefTank]

Yeap!! Hopefully a beneficial diet for eveything

 

[JustinsReefTank]

So I have been checking my ammonia, nitrite and nitrates. Everything is at zero. The piece of shrimp is gone. Deteriated. My ammonia never got above .50 and I never saw a spike in nitrates or nitrites. So what should I do?? I checked my levels and my LFS checked also. He said it might be due to the fact I used so much LR from my sump and my buddy gave 7-8 lbs from his sump. So is this possible?????

Any and all help is appreciated!?

 

[little_fish]

yep, i would do a water change and add the first fish!

 

[JustinsReefTank]

Thank you so much. That means this thing cycled in a week. So awesome. I guess I will go put light on order tomorrow.

 

[JustinsReefTank]

So I guess the black clowns will be home this weekend!! :bounce: :mrgreen:

 

[JustinsReefTank]

How much of a water change should I do??? 5 gallons or is that to much.

 

[little_fish]

5 gallons is perfect

 

[JustinsReefTank]

[lilmatty5dimes]
