Cycling 365gallons?

has been covered: you were cycled a while back and no more cycling work or testing or feed is needed. this info is coming to you from threads this large, that cover cycle completion dates exclusively:

How to unstick any seemingly stuck cycle

non digital ammonia test kit readings (api, Red Sea, nyos, seachem badges) make you think you aren’t cycled when indeed you are if you owned a $200 expensive seneye meter, you’d never be doubting your cycle status. since .01% of the reefing population owns these, we need a way to help the...

that's forty straight pages of naming exact cycle completion date, and yours was the easiest of them all with two gallons of bac.

I plan to move the sharks this weekend. I’m hesitant because my nitrites are over 5ppm. Even after a 100 gallon water change. I have about 40oz of fritz left. Will adding help lower nitrites? The sharks don’t handle parameter swings well and am concerned about nitrites.

they're of no concern, we cover Randy's article on nitrite in the opening post there in the work thread. I know it seems risky, it's freshwater that has concerns over nitrite. at reef/ocean salinities no organisms are harmed by it. also for backup, search out key terms here for Randy Holmes Farley/top reef chemist/ any post he's ever written about nitrite is just like this one.

that's big $ in sharks and setup, big cash. please post pics when they're in the tank plus updates we want to track big cycling jobs like that.

Nitrite cycling

Hey yall, currently cycling a new nano reef tank (25 Gallon tank), ive seen the ammonia spike, and has now returned to zero, and saw the nitrite spike, however struggling to get it to go down. I'm at about one month of cycling and I'm aware that's not long for a new tank, id just like some...

hey lets see a pic, from pics we use in our work thread I'm assessing degree of surface area, placement of rocks in the flow path, and filtration tracing to make predictions based on bioloading. lets see the filter setup too if possible for a complete tie-in here

I’m running two Herbies wide open, return pump is pushing 3800gph 4 ft of head pressure. 1hp Chiller. Rock work is minimal but over 80lbs. 100 lbs of oolite sand. 2 7” filter socks. I have a reef octo 3000ext skimmer and a Biopellet reactor. Total 365 gallons. It’s outside by my pool in a covered lanai.
