New Tank Cycle With Dr Tim

[reef keeper]

I got the stuff you use Yvette. Time to dose again. Zero ammonia

Glad you could find it. Not long now...

 

[reef keeper]

Ammonia Levels were zero so I topped it up to 2 again. It's 1.5 ml per gallon btw to get to 2.

Nitrites are high.

Any DAY NOW!!!!

 

[reef keeper]

So it drops from 2 to .25 in under 12 hours but nitrites aren't moving down. Should I stop dosing ammonia now?

 

[reef keeper]

Here is my result after 24 hours!



Ammonia is zero and nitrites are what? .25 or .5 right?

 

[reef keeper]

I retested 7 hours later to see what was happening. The ammonia has dropped from 2 to .25. Nitrites went from .25 up to .50. And that's only in 7 hours. I'm going to retest in the morning and if it's zeroed for ammonia and nitrite then a water change and go to stocking this beast? Right?

You got it. Can't wait to see some pictures with the fish in it.

 

[reef keeper]

I can't wait to post them!

[reef keeper]

If Waterloo is a bit far for you, I stock the prodibio line (what I used)
