I let mine alone for about 2 hrs just to be sure it's well mixed i'll test then retest the next day to confirm things

Okay guys thanks! Man this is getting exciting, I've got the marine fever!! Lol is there something I should be feeding the mushrooms as I sort of came on the rock and hadn't planned for them!!

 

[scubasteve03]

Nothing really just light lol

 

[Grizz]

They should be ok till you get fish in there they feed from the water if your worried put a tiny bit of ground fish food in the tank As most feed from the light with just a bit of solid food A cupple of mine are fairly large 3-5 inches i feed them mysis shrimp once a month kinda cool to watch them fold up

1st water test after 1st water change, I think that it is ok!

 

[Grizz]

Coming soon to a tank near you FISH!!!!!!! looking good remember add them slowly

 

[SeaMe]

That tank looks Awesome!!!

So Grizz do you really think that after just one week of water I could be ready for fish in about a week?!

 

[Grizz]

Yes what your looking for is 0 Amo 0 nitrItes less then 20 nitrAtes (PWC's will lower those) when you get there add a bit of food test for amo it will spike then disappear very fast so you want to test daily When the trItes and ammo remain at 0 you can add a small amount of fish 1-2 give it 1-2 weeks to let the BB catch up with the Bio load then you can add more Every tank cycles differently thats why all the test when cycling

I agree with grizz form the looks of your test your almost ther, crazy how its only been a week but as stated above all tanks are diffrent. Just do what grizz said about the food and test to make shure its complet and your good. Im excited to see what gose in, popcorn

I take it that it's normal for them to be shy at first!?
