That's what I'm hoping....
Since I moved my filter over, I thought it would be instant cycle, lol. I planted the tank, added the XP3, installed the inline heater, and now my ammonia shot up to 2ppm this morning when I tested after I woke up. Nitrites are high too, 2ppm. So it looks like I need to cycle. I thought running the XP3 overnight would have eliminated the ammonia and nitrite, as it's been running on my 55G since Christmas Day. Will keep an eye on my levels and let you know how things go in the next couple days.
Also, the java moss was looking good til this morning. Getting all that cruddy moss on it. The moss in the 26G is great, all clear. But since adding the plants in the 75G, it just appeared, and bad. Hopefully when I get the CO2 set up today, it will take care of it. Also, should be getting all my fertz Monday. Will then be able to adjust my Nitrate to phosphate levels.
Got all the vals planted.... Didn't completely get all that I ordered. They should spread, right?
So you think it looks nice now? Just wait til I add my rock that I got for it. lol. Doing a layout work-up in my head, lol. Got some white rock, black lava, red lava, glacier jade, plum sea glass, black sea glass, forest green rock, and a couple others.
