    Cool! Now that nitrites are showing it shouldnt take too long to balance out with nitrates and you will be fully cycled. Just a heads up tho expect hicups during the first few months where you will randomly get ammonia or show nitrites but they are usualy solved with a water change after your...

Also took the T5s off of my 60 and replaced them with the 300 watt LEDs that were on my 110. Gonna use...
