Scape attempt #1. Took me about 5 minutes. This is some of the "aged" Pukani rock that I have had in my 125's rock tub since 2015. Ha.
I made the mistake of ordering some Dr. Tim's One and Only and some ammonium chloride to do a "fishless cycle." I ordered from BRS and used expedited shipping, as was recommended by Dr. Tim's during the summer and winter months. They listed the maximum temp for the the product as 95°. I checked with a digital thermometer when it got here and the liquid was 107°. So, I dumped the whole 2oz bottle in the tank and added the suggested amount of ammonium chloride. It's been 10 days and there has been no change in the ammonia level and no nitrites showing up. So, I believe I blew that attempt and wasted a little bit of money.
Fingers crossed the bacteria is ok. I like the scape it is looking like a reef tank now.
Do you know what you will stock it with?
