Hey everyone,
Curious as to your thoughts if my tank is cycled and ready for a new fish. My wife and kids are chomping at the bit haha.
Info- 40 Gal IM Fusion Pro, 2" sand bed of Carib Sea Argg Alive, good amount of caribsea life rock as well. Doing a fish in cycle currently have 3 small clowns in there. I also used Fritz Turbostart 900 day 1.
I've been testing with the Red Sea Marine Care multi test kit. Ammonia has been 0 ppm for 7 days now. Nitrite "spiked" 6 days ago to between 0.5 - 1 ppm and has since quickly came down to nearly 0. It has been between 0.05 and 0 for 3 days now. The test has the faintest tint of pink. Nitrates are 5-10ppm (hard to tell its darker than 5ppm but not as dark as the 10ppm).
Does the Red Sea kit ever read a true 0 (completely clear) when testing for nitrites?
