Ok, so I did my cycle with the shrimp in mesh bag method I added 2 1/2 raw uncooked shrimp to the tank n I Didn't test the water the first week didn't have my test yet was waiting on delivery when I finally got it I've tested every other day n the ammonia didn't really rise above .50 if even that never saw any nitrite rise, I am back at 0 in ammonia n nitrite, the shrimp seem to be all gone the mesh bag is decomposing where the shrimp was all that left is mush... Now I have 100gal tank with 80lb live sand total sand is 140lb n about 25lb live rock total rock 50-60lbs... Is it possible tht my tank went thru a mini cycle n it ready for CUC to be added???? or why has no ammonia spike happen?
