Okay ;) don't rush it you wanna add some bio spectra by Red Sea you can

 

[blkflm6888]

Thanks i wanted something different. Im in no rush ill take me time to recover from startup cost lol

 

[Xbreakxitxdownx]

Okay let me know if you have a question

 

[blkflm6888]

New testing:
Ammonia-.2
Nitrite-.2
Nitrate-10

 

[Xbreakxitxdownx]

Almost there don't put any fish until it's ammonia- 0 nitrite - 0 after you get those numbers do a 20% water change and then wait a day or toe test it one more time if it's ammonia-0 nitrite-0 and nitrate- .2ppm or so you can add 1 fish (not expensive) just to test the water and make sure it doesn't die.

 

[blkflm6888]

What about cuc?

 

[blkflm6888]

I think my ammonia was 0 but with the red sea kit the colors are a little difficult to determine

 

[Xbreakxitxdownx]

Post colors and scale sheet. Same with cuc

 

[blkflm6888]

I already flushed it but ill post pics when i test next sunday

 

[Xbreakxitxdownx]

So yesterday im hooking up my rkl and probes and i noticed a small polyp-like coral on my live rock(cycling tank) so i thought it was dead looked bad. I come back after research and its moved??? Come back this morning and its disappeared i think to the underneath. Ill post picks but any ideas for a dime sized anemone maybe??

 

[Xbreakxitxdownx]

Take a pic

 

[blkflm6888]

Draft fish list:
B&w clown(maybe pair not sure)
Midas
Purple/red firefish
Cardinal fish
*wanted a coral beauty but dont wanna take the chance on being a coral nipper

 

[Xbreakxitxdownx]

Blk did your ever ID the Polp

 

[blkflm6888]

nope i picked up the piece of live rock it was on and its gone so its somewhere in my tank when it do pop up again ill be sure to take a pic im almost sure its a small flower anemone im guessing since its relocating at will

 

[blkflm6888]

test results yay :)

All looks good to me

 

[Xbreakxitxdownx]

Yah looks good to me now do a 10% water change to bring down nitrates a little and your aet
