Today's numbers make me happy:

Ammonia - 8 ppm

Nitrites - 2 ppm

Nitrates - 15 ppm

pH - 8.0

Sal. - 1.025

Hopefully diatoms start showing their ugly face soon

Well, just an update....since I last posted nothing changed. It was like things were suspended. Frustrated I went to the LFS on Friday and bought a couple pounds of well cured LR rubble and threw it in the AC70 to help seed the tank. Well, last night ammonia was at zero and nitrites are high at 5 so things are moving fast now. I guess it just needed that extra bacteria boost but I wasn't expecting it to fall from 8ppm to 0 in a day, but glad it did. Hopefully I can get some snails at the end of the week.
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
