Hey all!
I have a 'new to me' Biocube 32 LED. I am cycling the tank now with Fiji live rock 20 pounds and live sand 20 pounds. I am working on more live rock though closer to a pound to pound and a half a gallon. I will place a hardy chromis or two after the cycle. Then a clean up crew. Then eventually some lower maintenance beginner corals. I saw a couple of posts of people in the same process and thought I'd be interesting to compare/ share.
I set up the tank Monday the 14th. I am ghost feeding. Ammonia has stayed at .25 ppm. My nitrate rose to 5 ppm. And nitrite just raised to .25 ppm. We bought water from our local fish store. SG 1.025 and pH 8.2.
I have the stock lighting l, tunze pump, a protein skimmer, and filter floss in the chambers. All my research has suggested purigen and chemipure in the media basket under the filter floss.
Any advice appreciated!!
