I am currently in the process of starting my first saltwater tank. Have cycled many freshwater tanks over the years without issue only using ammonia and generally taking around six weeks for all parameters to be correct. The tank is all set up with RODI water, filtration, wavemaker and heater. My LFS advised to use bottled bac to cycle tank so I chose Dr.Tims one and only saltwater with Dr.Tims ammonia. Followed the instructions and I am now currently on day 11. Have tested as per instructions ie day two, day 4 , day 5,day 7, day 8 and the results were exactly the same ph 8.00, ammonia 2.00 and nitrites 0. Clearly not yet added any fish and have continued to test. Day 9 & 10 the results have not changed but today(day 11) the ammonia has rocketed to 8.00. Equally concerned that the nitrites dont appear to have moved. Something doesnt appear right or am I over thinking things and the ammonia will start to drop. Any advice will be greatly appreciated as I have spent months researching and want to ensure that everything is correct before I start stocking the tank.
