I have a question with cycling a new tank. I have a 55g saltwater tank with 50 pounds of base rock and about an inch of aragonite sand that i bought off someone from Craigslist. The sand was in their 125 saltwater tank. I've had the tank set up for about a month and I currently have a damsel in the tank for about a week now. I've been feeding him brine shrimp and been adding extra hoping to feed some bacteria that may be living in the tank?
My question is my tank currently set up to actually cycle or have I been wasting my time???? I've tested the water with API test kits and ammonia read .25. nitrites 0 and nitrates were about 10. An I headed in the right direction???
Any help and comments are greatly appreciated.
