so I decided to get back into reeling after taking about six years off. Just had a little boy so me and girl decided to get a small picotope for the room.
So I started the tank on 2-20-16. I used 5 pounds of Fiji pink live sand and a 4 pound single piece of live rock. Also have been using seachem stability. I have been testing everyday at the same time when I get home from work and adding stability the same time everyday. My ammonia went to .25ppm nitrates went up to the same. Now everything looks to be level.
My parameters as of right now are:
Ph 7.8-8.0
Ammonia 0-0.25
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0
My question is could the tank be cycled already and ready for fish? It has only been six days. I've never had a tank cycle that fast but I have never had a tank this small and have never used stability before.
Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you, T
