Is my tank cycled yet?

[willschatz]

Hello I was wondering if you could help me see if my tank is cycled yet this is my first time doing this so I would like to make sure. Here is also a picture of my tank there is algae on the glass I haven’t gotten a scraper for it yet. Thanks

Algae on the glass is a good sign, but no pic was posted

What have you done to get your tank cycled so far?

I have got live rock from my store and put in dry fish food in. Sorry about the picture it won’t let me upload it.

With real, wet live rock from a local shop, you're already cycled

The live rock is well populated with beneficial bacteria, you're recording zero ammonia and some nitrate. I believe you're good to start slowly adding some hardy livestock

Hi, I just wanted to point out that it says “fresh water master test kit” on the card. Obviously that could be quite important so just making sure you’ve got the right tests.

As far as I researched the API test kits use the same reagents for salt and fresh. The color charts are different.

You may want to get some better test kits going forward. Salfert brand are popular and low cost. Alkalinity, Nitrate and Phosphate are good to get you started.
