I setup and began to circulate the water in my tank on 11/07/2019. On that day I had 40lbs of dry rock, and 40lbs of Live CaribSea Aragonite Fiji Pink sand. On 11/09/2019 I added a 3lb live rock to the tank. My measurements have been:
I do not understand why I have not had an ammonia spike, nor have I had any Nitrate production as of today. I have ghost fed the tank every day with brine shrimp.
My real concern is: Will I have a delayed spike in the by-products? Or will the tank be safe for CC in a couple of days if the parameters are the same?
I use the API Saltwater Test Kit and a refractometer for salinity.
Any help (or comfort) is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
