By the way Elude what do you think of my tank?
Would I put the Jawfish in first?
just make sure every square inch has some sort of cover because they are jumpers and crafty ones at that
Hey guys, I need some help.
I put in two uncooked shrimp in my tank to begin the cycle, I pulled one out already. It was nasty to say the least.
I was reading that being I got so much live rock (50 pounds) that is already cured and 60 pounds of live sand that I didn't need to put a dead shrimp in? Should I take the last one out?
I am going to test my water when I get home, so I hope that things are good.

Nitrite = 5.0
PH = 8.4
Nitrate = 0
Ammonia = 0.25
Test strips seem to confirm that I was right, I do both and compare.
fine with me, going the slow way works. I want my fish to be healthy and safe. I no longer have the shrimp in, so I am going to just sit with the craps and rock. I am going to do another test tomorrow as I might have mixed up test tubes. I don't think I did, but we shall see. Do I want Nitrate?
