Hi reef2reefers,
I am cycling my first tank in a while and it seems like something is off on my cycle. I am reading .25 Ammonia, 0 Nitrite, and about 15 Nitrate. These results confuse me because in all the charts I see the ammonia should drop before the nitrates rise.
Here is what I have done over the cycle:
Started 2 weeks ago 4/17
All but a few live rocks
Live Sand
Dosed a bottle of Dr Tims bacteria
Added a Damsel 4/28 (have learned since about bottled ammonia)
