Wonder where all that phosphate has come from then? Are you planning on keeping coral?No tap water, and my TDS was zero coming out.

Magic,Yes, but no time soon...maybe 5-6 months down the road. I will get all parameters in check before introducing coral. Hell, I haven't even thought about buying an Alk, Cal, or MG testing kits yet...lol
Personally I would wait ‘till nitrite has come down just to satisfy myself the cycle is complete and I like slowly, slowly. However, nitrite is harmless at levels found in normal tank cycles, it usually just means you can’t test nitrates until the nitrites disappear which probably isn’t an issue anyway. Probably best to run your lights low power for a while to reduce algae growth (and it will grow). Getting a quality source of livestock from a trusted source is going to be important even if you do quarantine all new fish. Temperature and salinity testing/ familiarization/ calibration is your first real test. Happy reefin’Here is a pic of the tank
anyone who reads Dr. Reefs cycle thread knows this cycle was done on day one
all you did waiting past day three, the implantation time of the bacteria per the thread, was add unneeded wait time.
you are done cycling and need to study disease forum preps. Any hint that waiting longer makes your tank safer is false info and out of date and doesn’t align with any seneye posts on cycling, using lesser quality bacteria than you used. You could have added fritz and one lump of fish food and accomplished the same thing given this many wait days.
old cycling science: always says wait longer no matter what, doesn’t factor Dr. Reefs bottle bac thread nor updates known speeds for cycle completion. Old cycling science never aims towards disease prep, it aims for arbitrary wait times as directed by test kits that read wildly all over the place for most.
new cycling science says your tank is as safe on day one with bottle bac as it is day twenty and that disease preps are your only concern. New cycling science would never disavow clear findings from a 100+ page work thread with Dr. Tim in it.
Lol. Do you even read what he writes?I just found this cycling gif, Merry Christmas Brandon! Thanks for all you do for the cyclers on here. (That's me in the red gear, btw!)
I read some.Lol. Do you even read what he writes?
ROFL. I have him on ignore, but made the mistake of clicking the show button. You know, sometimes you just can't look away from the car wreck decapitation, even though you should. .I read some.
"Autism is not contagious?"
Poetry, english 2nd language, internet thread speak, and many others that are not always difficult to grasp but complicated and often nonlinear. It's a plethora, adamant but not hostile.
I went to a French speaking country with people who "could speak French" and I had to handle the difficult situation where the rental car company put the key lockbox on the wrong car while the "speakers" sat looking worried.
I gave directions to a tour group in San Diego who had come to Los Angeles looking for Disneyland. I don't speak French or whatever language was being spoken but I told them how to get there.
I read. I'm dyslexic and it helps put things in order in this universe.
Garf is easily tripped up
Can you elaborate?garf makes excuses a lot
I do like to obtain all pertinent Information on a subject, yes. Particularly with possible physical defects such as overtemperature, high salinity, low surface area, water chlorination possibilities, which are I’m sure more common than a lot of folks realize.what I expect from Garf is: stand back/steer clear of a cycling call then when we finally decide there's enough proof the cycle is ready, to the anger of most of the posters in the thread, insert insults about writing style, it's the constant between us any lookup of post history shows. been that way probably 3 straight years now...
its how he inserts a final jab once we've used up the stuck cycling card.
Garf, if you made a work thread and was able to get results + acceptable grammar that'd be well-earned links to read.
And the OP doesn’t have an ammonia problem. He’s good to go if he so chooses.Wow …. This thread went south fast .
