Hi gang,
My wifes aquapod 24 has cycled ( we think).
24#cured LR
1.5" oolite dry sand
LR rubble in rear
floss added every few days
PH 8.3
ammonia 0
nitrites 0
nitrates 3-4
SG 1.023
PO4 - working that down, little high right now.
Is it time to remove the dead shrimp, it is still whole in a mesh bag? The LR was fully cured from a vat I had running for 5 weeks( PWC and flake food feedings the whole 5 weeks) .Have had the aquapod up now for 9 days . Ammonia spiked on day 1 or 2 and quickly dropped, no nitrites were detected but testing was every few days.
Is it safe to assume it is cycled or wait a few days?
PS: the LR has macro algae ? growing, looks like grass sprouts, never seen that before on LR.
Time to add cleaning crew???????
