Hello all! I've been reading and doing a lot of research before I got my feet wet in the saltwater world. I started getting my gear together about a few months ago. I started my aquascape about a month ago. I was given some old live rock that I bleached and busted up with a hammer.
I painted the back of the tank black to hide ugly wires. I super glued and mortar all joints of the rocks for strength.
I put sand and water in on June 29th and started my cycle!
Cloudy water but after 1st day it all cleared up!
I have 2 HoBs ( Tidal 75 and Aquaclear 70) and 2 Hydor power heads to help with flow. I also have heater installed and an ATO to finish installing.
It's July 6th and I'm on the 8th day of cycle. I will post updated pics soon.
I've attached my current cycle and readings.
Should I just leave it alone and wait for the nitrites to go down? Thanks for your inputs!
