I’m cycling a 90 gallon tank with a 25 gallon sump
I started off with caribe sea sand dry rock that I’d cleaned filled with Saltwater using Rodi water.
I used microbactor start and the guy at the fish store said to add a shrimp to the tank as well so I bought a piece of shrimp placed in a bag and placed in the aquarium.
It’s been about 3 weeks and the ammonia is starting to drop but the nitrite is still very high.
Do I just wait for both to drop to zero and for there to be nitrates ?
I’m just wondering if I’m doing everything right ?
