Hello all,
This is my very first time cycling a saltwater aquarium.
1 Ammonia
0 Nitrite
40 Nitrate
I’m a bit confused and have a question: My ammonia never spiked past 1 yet my nitrates have gradually risen. Either the cycle has hardly started or my ammonia just needs to reach 0 and I’m good? I never once tested any nitrite with API.
It’s been like 9 days and the LFS said with the bacteria in a bottle it shouldn’t take very long. Yet other people say it should take a month plus? I’d love to hear some opinions on what is happening with my cycle. Thanks!!
