Hey guys,
I'm Jon and new to the SW aquarium world! I'm enjoying reading as much material I can get my hands on!
I bought my Kent Bio Reef 94L on Thursday and began to cycle it straight away. I've got 9kg of live rock and 10kg of live sand in the tank and today there has been a diatom bloom. I understand this Is normal for a cycling tank but my question to you is, is this healthy happening at such any early stage of the cycle (less than one week)? The water parameters are as expected
SG 1.025
Ph 8.5
Ammonia 0.50ppm
KH 240ppm
GH 180ppm
Nitrate 20ppm
Nitrite 0 ppm
Water temp is 27c
Thanks for looking
