so 3 weeks ago i put water and sand in my 20 long tank and ran the filter for a week
then i bought 30 pounds of live rock and a dead shrimp
i toom the shrimp out after 4 days due to the horrid smell and being told that my cured live rock would be enough to cycle the tank
friday, my api kit arrived and my readings were
ammonia 0
ph 8.3
nitrite 4
nitrate 10
today my readings were
amo 0
ph 8.3
nitrite 0
nitrate 10
ps i have alage growth and diatomsd
tonight im gonna do a 20% pwc
if all levels hold i will add my 2 clownfish on wendsday
does all sound right to you
if the clowns do fine next week i will order 8 frags and a lobster
