So I am definitely a newbie in the saltwater hobby, and I am dying to put some corals/frags in. I have had my tank up and cycling for about a solid month (longest month of my life, and much patience learned!). I started with a biocube 14, and I added live rock, live sand, sea pure, and bio spira. For those wonderful people who have been helping me, know that I had an ugly phase this past week, and I successfully had a WC yesterday, and tank is looking great. My nitrites seem so be in the stress levels, nitrates are also showing, no ammonia spike, and my pH is sitting at 7.8 (looking into a mini fan suggested by taint to get pH up naturally). My specific gravity is 1.028, but normally 1.026, the sea pure seems to be high so I mix it with RO water. Temp averages at 80. I have added a cuc, and a firefish. Just kind've wondering where I stand, and when it's recommended that I could start possibly adding corals. Also want to make sure I am headed in the right direction/order before I make any mistakes.
Also, shout out to everyone who has helped me, I wouldn't be this far without you guys!
