[QUOTE="mjszos, post: 10795487, member: 182226"] Well today is a good day, and the last few days have been even better! Was worried about my ammonia levels, so I did a pretty substantial water change (roughly 75%). Ammonia was at 1.0PPM 12 hours later. The following morning it was reading 0, with healthy Nitrite and Nitrate levels. Dosed 1PPM of ammonia which roughly 24 hours to clear out (putting us at Sunday night). Dosed another 1PPM of Ammonia on Sunday night, last night it was gone. I did another 10% water change today, and plan on doing another 10% daily this week to get my Nitrates down to ~10PPM. At this point I'm pretty confident the tank is cycled, and I no longer believe in stalled cycles. I did take the nuclear approach to this though; started with Dr Tims, added MB7, then when I was seeing ammonia organically clearing out 1PPM i also dropped in a 1/4 dose of Fritz 900. I plan on dosing the rest of the Fritz over the next 3 weeks in 1/4 doses. The good news! My Radion XR15 G6 Pro arrived today. I am going to hold off on hanging it for now, what happens with it is determined by 2 factors: [B]1.[/B] I will go to my LFS on Friday to check out their Black Friday deals and pick up a pair of clowns. I may also end up buying corals, if I do.. Light is getting hung. [B]2. [/B]If #1 does not happen and I remain calm and only buy some fish, I will probably hold off on hanging the lights for a few more weeks, at which point I'll probably convince myself to buy another XR15. [B]2a.[/B] My issue at the moment is I want to hang them from the ceiling, if I hang 1 right now I'll end up having to make more holes in my ceiling that will need to be patched when I more than likely buy a second one.
