Yes i have Learned so much in the past month its unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!

Joester2k3 · 02-10-2006, 11:36 AM

Its been a week now so i checked my levels. My Ammonia is at around 1.0 but my nitrites are at 1.6 on the test. Is this to high for my live rock to handle???

Nope, sounds like you're really hitting the spike. The bacteria will reproduce and consume that ammonia and nitrite, you just have to be patient. Looks like you have 2-3 weeks to go until you're cycled!

Good luck!
