Nice looking tank - what are your plans once cycled?
carey said:LOL Thats great. cat's like wth is this thing? lol
Good luck. Are you using straight ammonia or a dead shrimp to generate ammonia?
carey said:I don't think your tank is big enough. You need a 180g for the blue tangs alone and a 6 foot tank for the yellow ones.
carey said:Oh, youre cycling with fish? Have you read the articles on here about fish in cycling?
You def shouldnt be adding any more fish until your cycle is complete. Do you have a liquid test kit for the water? If so what are the readings?
carey said:If you have only a couple of fish it might take awhile to get some ammonia. But when you do youre gonna have to do water changes to keep the ammonia down.
carey said:Once you start getting ammonia though it won't stop, so still test daily in my opinion. Once the ammonia starts then the nitrites willshow up and finally nitrates. When youre system can process the ammonia and nitrite without you having to do water changes then youre cycled.
Theres some really great articles on here regarding fish in cycling, I dont have the link but just do a quick search. It will explain it much better than I ever could. LOL
