Well because I am using a test strip there is no ammonia test so I get that tested at my lfs, I asked for a liquid test kit for Christmas but I have to use strips at least to get me through the cycle, I just assumed that now that my nitrites are starting to go down and nitrates are starting to...

I was reading the wrong chart and those were the wrong numbers, here are the stats of my tank pH - 8.1 Alk - 310 Salt (ppt) 34 (sg = 1.025) Ammonia - ~5 Nitrate - 13ppm Nitrite - 30ppm

I fed for a while almost daily I went to get my water lab tested at a reef store and they said stop adding ammonia and the cycle will finish however what you’re saying makes sense. Not sure what to do... [emoji20]

OK so a little background I started this saltwater tank little around nine weeks ago and I added my source of ammonia eight weeks ago however I didn’t buy any sort of testing until about three weeks ago now that I tested I have close to 0 ammonia a lot of nitrates (40ppm) but very low nitrite...

Okay do you have any nutrient levels you can give to us

Do you use tap water? Pictures please

Wouldn’t drop anything in if I were you also it’s hard to get enough light for the corals if you dropped then and they went down 5 or 6 feet, also feeding the corals and the anemones would be ridiculously hard if they were that deep so I would recommend keeping the corals close to the top, can...

Okay yea thanks I’m only 14 and do not have too much money to pour into this however I feel I do have a okay system so far being lucky with a free aquaclear 30 and free tank and I will consider a Red Sea

Okay thanks however I found an amazing deal on kijiji it’s a liquid test kit with 18 different tests for 10$ so I think I’ll pick it up, thanks for your help [emoji108]

Sorry I meant 6 weeks and I used flake food

Yea it’s been 8 weeks, and how inaccurate, kinda just blight them so see when the cycle is done

I recently had my first bacterial bloom in my saltwater tank I thought the cycle would be almost over so I bought some tests and this is what came out, how much longer do you think

Okay thanks woke up this morning and it was crystal clear

Okay thanks I will and finally that cycle took 7 weeks [emoji1319] hopefully tests show you’re right

So it should go away?

Okay thanks

I am cycling a 10 gallon Nano reef and everything seemed to be going fine but I came home today expecting my crystal clear water that I usually have and it was extremely cloudy and I was wondering if this is somthing to worry about or how to fix it, it looks worse irl then in the photos btw

Okay thanks

So I know when cycling a Nano reef there is a ugly brown algae stage but I feel like I have too much, is this normal?

Okay thanks for giving opinions guys I’ll look into rodi water

Ahahah I meant to say reef not roof

Yes.This is the answer I thought I would get however if I put 200 and $300 more into it that would also have to translate into Canadian money because I live in canada that 200 turns into 400 and that would more than double the price of what I’ve arty spent on my roof so

I have started a reef aquarium and I was looking at my towns water levels and stove and it seemed OK, I was just wondering if I can get a second opinion on if this is OK for a reef tank Nitrite - undetectable Nitrate 0.29 ppm Alk - 77 ppm Calcium - 26 ppm Tds - 94 Chlorine - 0.85 I use as...

Okay thanks

Just some hermits and turbo snails
