Hello!

Hello!

New to the forum and just got my first ‘big’ tank!
Ive been running a Fluval Evo Marine (50L) for a few years and just manage to upgrade to a RedSea Reefer 250!

Just began my cycle using Red Sea Mature Pro, although not convinced I’m doing it right since my Amonia (0.50ppm), Nitrite (1.00ppm) and Nitrate(80ppm) all seem super high.. Only on day 7! The tank is super cloudy too and no sign or any algae/diatoms/cyano… something for me to figure out (unless anyone has some advice) :D

Looking forward to meeting the community!

Lawrence

With cycling, when ammonia rises then falls and achieves a steady reading of Zero for at least 5 days and when nitrate rises and falls and holds at 20 or below- you are cycled.
Did you add ammonia chloride or something to increase ammonia initially ?
