I have a 130 gal tank with a 30 gal long sump with about 20 gal.
I recently added two 32 oz Fritz Zyme, pulled the socks and skimmer per instruction.
I added two 3"plus Tangs and waited.
After the 4 days I added the sock and skimmer and within two days the tank cleared up. It skimmed two full cups of what could only be the Fritz.
Now I have been testing ammonia daily and nothing. No reading whatsoever.
I have a sheet of Nori in the tank 24/7 and I alternate feeding spirulina mysis and pellets.
It's been more than a week and no reading of ammonia. I have never cycled like this and I'm curious if the tank volume is so great that ammonia might not be a problem for two fish.
The fish are gaining weight and overall pretty happy. When I got the purple tang he was very thin, now he's plumped up in short order.
Any input is greatly appreciated
