Happy to say that the tank is officially cycled !
Did a last dosing of liquid ammonia to put it to the test and tests were good less than 48 hours later.
Gonna make a 25% WC today and a 10% WC tomorrow to lower the nitrates a little, around 10ppm now, before adding the first fishes tomorrow.
Fishes comes from a fellow reefer in my area who close his tank due to lack of time lately.
2 ocelaris clowns
1 flasher wrasse
3 green chromis
1 purple firefish
Plan is to drip acclimate them and to add Seachem Stability if needed.
Went from more than 2 ppm ammonia to 0 in less than 48 hours so I'm quite confident in my cycle potential to deal with the new bioload.
In the worst case scenario I'm off work for the next two days so I'll be ready to dose Stability and do WC if needed.
This is getting really exciting !
