Well the SW tank been up for about a week or so now, (started with live rock, equipment from a well established tank, water from the establish SW tank and new sand) We have lots of "critters" running around in there, a few starfish, and a mushroom, and some others. Took a water sample in today to Pruess's and the amonia and nitrites were negative. Nitrates were 0.12. (hope I got the nite/nate thing right) Anyway they said it was OK to fish the tank. But Im nervous about putting fish in this early in a cycle? Could the amonia/nitrite levels just have dropped to 0 and go back up? Or is it because I started with majority of an established tank?
