Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Okay, I have had my 55 up and running for a couple weeks now. I used new sand and some dry rock, adding live rock from my established tank little by little...... (dont want to take too much from my fish and shrimp I have) and a couple cups of sand from the established tank. I had been testing the water and only getting a reading on ammonia (.50ppm) and 0 for nitrate and nitrite. Tonight my test were ammonia (.50ppm) nitrite (.25ppm) and nitrate (5.0ppm) So things are coming along like they should right? I was just excited to see something other than zero on nitrite and nitrate (with hopes of the cycle starting) Any input or advise would be appreciated! Thanks!
BTW- even though I have an established tank, it was when I bought it (with fish and all).... so this cycling is still new to me and I want to get it right =)
Thanks!
