Whatcha thinking about stocking, as far as fish when you are ready?

fishrfreinds · 01-16-2006, 09:22 PM

does anyone know how much longer on cycling its been 8 week. should the [acronym:989d4ba1a0="Live rock"]lr[/acronym:989d4ba1a0] give the umph it needs to complete.

Florida8 · 01-16-2006, 09:29 PM

I don't know what you were using in the previous 8 weeks but I would think this would surely get things a moving!

Perhaps before you didn't have enough? Did you shrimp cycle? How much [acronym:a5db06c12a="Live rock"]lr[/acronym:a5db06c12a] before?

shrimp cycle

4 lbs its kind of funny that i spent the same amount amount on that 4 lbs. for this.

Florida8 · 01-16-2006, 10:34 PM

Ahhh, well, there ya go.. you were strugglin' to get it going I bet... this should surely do it and I bet it won't last 8 weeks this time

fishrfreinds · 01-16-2006, 11:20 PM

there a problem literaly unfloding its Aiptasia its all over one rock but im all ready in the Process of removing them shot hot water at most of them that seem to stop them... So far.

fishrfreinds · 01-17-2006, 09:18 PM

Okay there gone now only had about 20.
hot water did the trick. there are about 3 left and that only cause cant reach them. oh and good news the nitrite have drop from 5.0 to .25 this morning all ready maybe by tommorow it well be 0. so thanks for the help and advice.

here my final picture

fishrfreinds · 01-17-2006, 09:52 PM

i just tested the water everthing at ZERO. except nitrate which is 5.0. Friday, maybe sooner i'll go buy some fish like clown or something.

So end the end of this battle of cycling, i have won. It wasnt easy it wasnt cheap (or maybe it was

) but im sure glad its over,
and maybe, no surely it is worth it.

Your tank has just finished the cycle and will probably do a mini cycle due to adding the [acronym:d61d33b376="Live rock"]LR[/acronym:d61d33b376]. The anemone was a bad purchase. They should only be added to stable mature tanks. I would try to find it a new home. Congrats on the [acronym:d61d33b376="Live rock"]LR[/acronym:d61d33b376] purchase.
