So I finally got my tank stocked not the way I wanted because the wife tried to surprise me with some fish and corals but none the less mostly all the fish I want. Went to the lfs in Waco TX with a problematic plecustomus and a chocolate chip Sea Star after I was sold them from a large chain store that said the star was reef safe bad me I didn't do my research on the star. Back to the problem I'm having is the lfs wouldn't sell me any shrimp because they said my nitrites we're at the 3-5 ppm level the ammonia and nitrates we're at 0 and my tank was still cycling[emoji53]. I told them my API liquid test kit said 0.50 and after the wife looked at it said 1ppm. The tank was cycled fishless and the ammonia and nitrites were zero before I added any fish.
