I used ro di made synthetic saltwater, and heres the pic, it's a 20 gallon aio tank, also used caribsea live sand, started the cycle 5 days ago, used shrimp as ammonia source removed it when the ammonia reached 2ppmare you using ocean water, or ro di made synthetic saltwater (this factors into time booster assessments)
It said 1 drop per 27 gallons everyday for the first two weeks of a new tankOn the directions bottle of aqua forest, does it say one drop per night or does it have you add a certain volume of the product all at once can you relay the bottle directions to us. I haven’t used it before so need to know volumes they recommend
Dont worry about nitrite- Only in FreshwaterAnyone know the reason why I'm not getting nitrite? 5 days into cycling 1ppm of ammonia 20 ppm nitrate but no nitrite, I dose a drop of aquaforest bio s everynight
How did you measure nitrite and nitrate?Anyone know the reason why I'm not getting nitrite? 5 days into cycling 1ppm of ammonia 20 ppm nitrate but no nitrite, I dose a drop of aquaforest bio s everynight
Went from 2->1-> then .25, now for 4, days still 0 nitriteReading about that aqua forest product it is a probiotic bacteria. Designed to accelerate decomposition of organic matter. Maybe they are doing their jobs and decaying organics in the sand. Also did it go from 2 to 1ppm? Or did it go from 2ppm to zero back to 1ppm?
All is good, if that’s ammoniaWen

Im having this same issue right now. Ammonia is at 1.0 ppm havnt seen any nitrite levels yet, but tested nitrate levels today and they're at 5.0 ppm.Anyone know the reason why I'm not getting nitrite? 5 days into cycling 1ppm of ammonia 20 ppm nitrate but no nitrite, I dose a drop of aquaforest bio s everynight
Been reading up on Marine chemistry. Seems we could put the Nitrite test away unless there's a problem.Dont worry about nitrite- Only in Freshwater
You should just wait it out until ammonia is zero, never saw a nitrite spike during my cycling processIm having this same issue right now. Ammonia is at 1.0 ppm havnt seen any nitrite levels yet, but tested nitrate levels today and they're at 5.0 ppm.
Its been 6 days today (December 8th 2021)
