Or a close relative, Escenius bimaculatus! If there’s a fish that is truly underrated I would say it’s the bimaculatus.

If they did that, I don’t think the market would have all that variety of fish we have now haha.

That’s normal IME, in my tank when I had it new, it took about 3-4 days before ammonia began to decline.

That’s horrible. Did they also sell you the dead turbo start? Just to address the elephant in the room. Are you sure your test kit is testing correctly?

According to their site it’s suppose to smell horrible. What are the ALK levels in the tank. Low Kh inhibits the process.

i wish masterfisch still delivered to the uk there rock was fire insta cycled arrived soaking wet even though it had a 4 day delay for getting stuck in customs

@brandon429, has some insight on seemingly stalled cycles. Perhaps he has some advice.

I think if I had this much problems getting live rock I’d try my hand at making my own in a brute can with dry rock. UK sounds dreadful when it comes to available reef hobby stuff.
