Hi,
I have recently started a new tank (Reefer 250). I put carib sea life rock and live sand in it. After 5 days of no activity, I added a raw shrimp and let it rot for 4 - 5 days. Then I took it out. Now my measurements are No2 1 ppm and No3 100+ ppm. This has been like this for more than a week. How do I speed this up? Or do I need to do something? Also adding Microbe Lift special blend bacteria according to their schedule.
I would also like to start the Zeo Light method (Fauna Marin). When will be a good time to start with this method and add the zeovit filter with stones etc? Do this right away or wait until the cycle is over?
I'm making it myself quite hard I figured
This is my third reef tank, so I have some expierence but I have never cycled a tank from scratch with this kind of rock and sand.
