Don't know. My test kit just came in the mailDid you have an ammonia and nitrite spike before these parameters?
Do a ghost feeding then. Add a pinch of food. In 24 hours measure again. If no change, add another pinch and measure in another 24 hours. Still no change, do it once more.
If after three ghost feelings you get no spikes then you are cycled.
I got 10 damsel the day after I put tank upThere are fish in your tank already?
100 GallonOh my. Cycling with fish is no longer the recommended approach. It causes a lot of stress on the fish needlessly. That said, you are probably cycled then.
How big is this tank? 10 damsels will likely be 2 in not too long.
I had 10 and 2 days after I put them in 2 were dead. BUT. The 2 that die were from the same family. I got 5 different kind of damsels and 2 from the same kind die. The fish store sale to get 10 to help my tank . . . And I have 25 pounds of live rock and 50 pounds of Dead rockMaybe 3 or 4 then. Did your local store tell you to do that? Damsels don't generally get along well in groups long term. They will fight each other and other fish.
Yes so I have read about the damsel being hard to get out now. I was thinking throwing in a lion Fish to maybe eat them.I would never go back to that store. Awful advice. If those damsels dont all kill each other, they will probably be little brats to any new fish you add. Good luck getting them out.
I don't have the lion fish now in my tank. I was saying maybe that fish could help to eat the damselsbased on the link provided, can your system digest 3-4 ppm in 24 hrs? the lionfish is one of the heaviest bioloads along with eels. Im under the impression tank isn't through cycling yet?

I don't plan on keeping the lion just to get rid of the damsels . Then the lion can go as wellDon't do that until your tank is a little more stable. Also, only do that (later) if your wanting to keep that lion fish and only do aggressive fish. Still no guarantee that the lion will eat them. You really just want the lion to eat frozen foods that you pick, otherwise it may stop eating once it's out of damsels to eat.
