How long for ammonia to start being detectable? My 29 gallon system will be set up a week tomorrow. I have 45 lbs of live rock in it. Running a protein skimmer as well. Ammonia is still at zero. At this time, I'm choosing not to add the raw shrimp. I've read/researched both sides of the raw shrimp issue and my lfs store was against it so I decided not to do it. Should I have had a detectable amount by now? Would I have if I'd added the shrimp? I was just wondering when the ammonia should be detectable. I could not find the answer to this in my research. Thanks for your help. Getting addicted to this forum. Haha
