I keep getting different answers for this whenever I ask my LFS this is going on week two of cycling my tank and I used an api testing kit

I'm kinda upset with them because I have followed all their advice word for word and they failed to mention the most important part of cycling lol I'm definitely embarrassed by this lol here I was worried about anemones in my tank when my tank isn't even cycled lol oh I can't wait to look back...

Is there a particular brand?

Yeah they use a little yellow tablet and when it turns a green color that's showing ammonia and mine turned it into a very dark green. I am going to buy the test kit myself so I can start measuring daily Sent from my HTC One using Aquarium Advice mobile app

So I'm not trying to put this off on the place I bought my salt water stuff from but whenever I was told what cycling was and the necessities to cycle well what they left out was the bacteria?!?!?!? Maybe I am wrong but when I bought all my supplies they told me my tank would cycle just by using...

How would I go about getting rid of it? Sent from my HTC One using Aquarium Advice mobile app

It hitch hiked from the new live rock I got and I'm just curious as to what it is

This is the 3 step I did

1- I cycled using live rock and the seachem 3 step solutions. 2- salinity is 123 ph-8.3 alkalinity is 4.5 and everything else is 0 3- he got the signs the night I put him in the tank and died two days later 4- I had the first one 3 days and the second for 6 days Sent from my HTC One using...

They may have said pretty made water but that was in the beginning of me doing this but I choose at the time to mix my own water. Which I know now was a terrible mistake and could be the reason for all my problems Sent from my HTC One using Aquarium Advice mobile app

@ macscale Gotcha :) I'm definitely okay with waiting but I have a clown fish at their store waiting for me to get my tank up. They told me they have cycled water I could use maybe I could start up a qt tank and bring my fish back home in that while my main tank does its thing Sent from my...

@mebbid I was told that ich wouldn't harm my tank?!?!?!?!? Like I said I'm all new to this and I'm going off the place I got the fish from advice but when I asked about having a qt they told me it wouldn't be necessary which put up some red flags to me and hence why I came here for advice lol...
