Hello all,
I am currently cycling my system in preparation for one O. bimaculoides. The tank contains 10lbs of live aragonite sand (which has been in the tank for 4 weeks), and three damsels (present for two weeks). I have been testing the water daily using API pharmaceuticals saltwater master test kit, but have not yet seen any increase in nitrite, nitrate or ammonia levels. Admittedly I have only been testing for the last week, but surely I won’t have missed the cycle? The water quality has been consistently as follows over the last week:
Nitrate
