I think it did failed lol. So I start by pouring freshwater to my 20 gallon and added salt to make it to the salinity I want. Then the day after that I put live sand and rocks in there and test the water and it was 0ppm on ammonia nitrite nitrate and Ph was 7.2. I test the water on the week after that and came with same result but ph was 7.8. 3rd week was when I had stress zyme and added that to help boost my cycle, but before that I did a 50% water change cause I wanted to lower the salt so I can have guppies and platies in there at 1.005. Then 4th week I test the water same result as week 3 and added stress zyme. I added stress zyme on the 5th week and test the water and it was the same result again. Then I test the water yesterday and result came to .25ppm ammonia, 0ppm on nitrite and nitrate, and ph raised to 8.0 I believe. Then what now? Then I read some articles and decided to add little of fish food in there to create ammonia and do the things. This was what I did. What did I do wrong?
