I am currently on day 9 of my cycle, and it's for my quarentine tank. In it I have a bio brick amd bare bottom. Nothing else running g except heater and return pump right now. No skimmer or mechanical filtration.
My hanna tester I have only does nitrites in ppb. And after adding ammonia 9 days ago, nitrates are only climbing by about 10 ppb a day. So on day nine I only have 80 ppb nitrites or .08 ppm. I used microbacter start xlm and wondering if I should drain tank and start over or are my nitrites climbing at an ok rate.?
Tank temp and salinity are 77° and 34.5 ppt.
