Hi All,
I have just gotten into this hobby and I love it. I am in the process of cycling my 75g FOWLR. I used about 60lbs of base rock and 20lbs of live rock. I used the shrimp method as some on this site have suggested. My delima is as follows:
I set everything up on 1/24 including putting 1 shrimp. I tested the water every other day or so and everything seemed to be going smoothly. I tested the water last night and I have 0 ammonia and 0 nitrite (NO2). Could this have happened so fast? What's next? Should I add another Shrimp? Or could it be true. Am I really ready to add my first fish?
