It's cycled :) see the sandbed patch

That means the whole tank is ready, plus fritz is 48 hour bac.
Food got in anyway, the tank is cycled

You exceeded the time both from fritz and a cycling chart. Can reef now. New cycling science has something called visual cue verification and any new pigmented growths meet that detail. They deposit after filter bacteria not before

It's why pics are so important, moreso than test kits in fact. One glance, one second diagnosis.

Sweet thank you. I have a build thread you should check it out. Not because it’s cool but because it’s getting very lonely there with only one reply.

I have a need for that thread anyway will do. As soon as you post the tank with some life in it we have a thirty page visual cycling thread that wants it as the 120th proof link
