I just added bio-spira to my tank yesturday(Sat) and I am waiting for it to cycle it still isnt cycled. I have a 50gal saltwater setup with filstar xP3 Filtration system, Seaclone 100 Protein Skimmer, and turbo twist uv sterilizer. This morning i found my two damsels and my shrimp dead in my fish tank and it was quite cloudy, the only creature that survived was my feather duster, it might be because i didnt properly put them in, the way I did it is I let the bag sit in the water for about 20 mins and put in the fish. Also this morning I tested my nitrates, ammonias, phs. and my nitrites and my results were:
pH:7.9 (going to buy buffer to raise pH)
Nitrate:10
Nitrites:0.2
Ammonia:0.2
I am wondering if this bio spira will work, I did everything the instructions said and I got the right one for my salt water tank. I dunno if my test result show that my bio spira is working but tomorrow I will check it again to see if ammonia and nitrites have dropped to 0.
NOTE: Please post if u had success with the bio spira for the saltwater tanks, Thanks.
