Ok so I feel like a dummy after realizing what I just did. Got the tank put live sand and base rock also ended up getting some live rock cheap and added that. Tested my water daily with the strip test. Everything looked good. I ended up adding more live rock that had some snails and crabs. For whatever reason the nitrate and nitrite was still 0. So I thought maybe I need to add a fish. So I got a lawnmower Benny to help. He’s doing great. I finally got a real test kit with the drips. Seeing now my ammonia is .025. Nothing crazy but feel dumb. I honestly thought the strip test would be fine for now. I guess question is does anybody know if that ammonia will go up or down. I plan on testing it a few times today and tomorrow while I’m off.
