Hi got a 55g tank that has running for 4 months everything is going good got a valitine puffer snowflake eel and coral beauty in it ( looking at getting a zebra lion too he's on hold at the lfs )
Now I've just set up a 17g tank it's got 5kg of live rock in it ( pick up 8kg last night for 20 dollars came with all kinds of hitchhikers like crabs worms lil shrimps and I think a tiny sand shifting star) now it has not cycled did a test read
Ammonia 0
Ph 8
Nitrates where high (can't remember the number)
Nitrites 0
so I put some filter pad out of my 55g in the filter done a test and it's saying
Ph 8
Nitrate 0
Nitrites 0
Ammonia 0
Now dose this mean that the tank has instantly cycled
