16 days ago I started cycling a 55 gallon tank. It’s a fishless cycle so I used Dr. Tim’s all-in-one. My set up is as follows:
60# Fiji Pink live sand
60# Marco dry rock
10# live rock from lfs
1 mp-10
1 tidal 110 hob filter(don’t judge. 3 yr old in the house and don’t trust him with sump)
2 hydra32’s been running since day 2
I’ve been ghost feed into the tank since day 1. I did one water change of 10 gallons on day three because there was something floating in the tank that I couldn’t identify. Ammonia peaked at about 2ppm for a day. Never had any measurable nitrite. Ammonia is currently at .25 and nitrate at 20 ppm. Did have a diatom bloom 3 days ago but it has started to die off. Could I be entering the end of my cycle already?
