I’ve been trying to cycle my marine pond (dry sand and rock. ) for the last 5days. I started with 2 gallons of Fritz9 and added a 1/2lb of shrimp(Amazon lost my Ammonia). I’m going on day 5. No ammonia detected. No nitrite. Ph is 8.5. I understand it’s only been 5 days but shouldn’t I see some ammonia by now. Am I using enough shrimp? I have live rock but I don’t like transferring anything from one aquarium to another. I normally cycle my tanks with Fish and never had an issue. But this is for a trio of sharks and there propensity to react poorly to any parameter change makes me hesitant.
Any recommendations and opinions would be appreciated. Thank you
