Hey guys so I just started up a new 60g tank. I have a 20 long sump on it now, but nothing running besides the heater. I put 2 medium size pieces of live rock from my 32g tank in the sump and a bag of bio balls that were in the 32 for a week. Then I dumped in Dr Tim's when the water temp hit 80. I did not test anything for the first 3 days. On the 3rd day everything was reading 0 so I brought my 2 clowns over to help the cycle start. It's been a week and still have not read any ammonia, nitrite or nitrates. Just wanted to see what your thoughts are? I'm thinking the nitrates may start to just slowly climb, and I can bring over my other fish in 5 weeks or so. I've never used Dr Tim's, am I still expecting an ammonia spike for the cycle?
