I set up a 40 gallon saltwater tank about 2 months ago. I used dry rock and dry sand in the tank. I has sorta been put to the side for a little while. I have kept a close eye on it, but just let it do its thing, not adding any livestock. There is a pretty good amount of algae growth on the rocks. How can I be sure of the tank has cycled? I put a raw shrimp in yesterday, to make sure it has cycled. In the case that it has cycled, what parameters would I get from the decaying shrimp? Thanks!
