Hi everyone!
Today my tank is one week old
Decided to do some testing to see where I’m at and results are:
Salinity- 1.026
PH- 7.8-8
Ammonia- .25-.50
Nitrites- 5 or higher
Nitrates- didn’t test
What do you guys think am I moving into the 2nd part of the cycle? Hope to get some better testing equipment eventually. Also I just turned the lights on to take the pictures.
Plan on adding about 4-5 lbs of live rock today (8.5lbs of dry rock was put in initially) anyone see an issue in doing this? Also plan on adding a small skimmer but I wasn’t sure if it’s even necessary on a tank this size.
Any input would be appreciated! Thanks for reading.
