Hey can you post one more pic just of the front facing full tank picture but in all white light, it helps to reveal details that blue is masking. I run mine that blue too _ it's good for corals. Just need the white for analytical details


other readers getting to see you trust your bacteria vs doubt them is so important. we are trained by peers, and bottle bac sellers, mostly peers, to instantly begin dumping things into the water as a reaction and they don't even ask to see your test kit to see if it's in line with all the others.


you overrode that reaction process today and that's updated cycling science in action, that you can trust your whole tank isn't about to crash.

Requesting again before you relocate the tank, a clear white light picture of your tank please so we can close out your cycle inquiry with it


we want to finalize your cycle issue before you relocate the tanks, needs a non blue white light pic= the small price for a complete ammonia troubleshoot that made your tank ready for transfer :) and kept all your reef life safe from random chemical souping dosers reacting to a false stuck cycle

You cannot tell if a tank is cycled just by looking at how much surface area it has. The bacteria don't just magically fill the space instantly. You could have the entire world's surface area and it doesn't guarantee it's populated. You can tell whether the tank has the capacity to cycle properly, but not if it has. I'd pick up a cheap API liquid kit and use that to check.
