Hi
Ive been using dr tims one and only to cycle my reefer 250, which is set up bare bottomed and contains 20kg of reel reef rocks ( this was supplied dry here in uk ). I put 2 litres of Siporax in sump on day 6.
Yesterday I did a 40% water change and today on day 21 my tests are,
NH4=0
NO2=0.25-0.5
NO3=100
pH7.95
SG 1.025
26C
Im worried that the cycle has stalled and that I need to do something, I have a box of Red sea mature starter pack and wondered if I could add the bacteria culture from it to get things going again.
Ive not turned my Hydra lights on yet..... Should I
Also should I use the NO3PO4-X to bring down the Nitrates.
Sorry so many question.
Thanks
Tony
