I don't understand why?(cycling)
I put in my LR and LS and all my readings are still at zero after 1 week!
Ammonia = 0 Nitrite = 0 Nitrate = 0 ??? a'm I doing something wrong? Why is theire no spike in Ammonia yet? |
Was it cured rock? If nothing is dying from the rock and sand, it won't give you a spike. Or your test kits are old/defective.
|
yes it is cured LR and my test kit is brand new from Red Sea.

Enzo,
When I first started my tank I was in kinda the same situation as you and after 2 days my tank was "fully cycled" No spikes at all. I had my current pair clowns in after a week. |
I've never been fortunate enough to have a tank cycle so quickly. It certainly is possible as Jonathon stated. I've always "induced" a spike which gave me the piece of mind the "bio-filtration" was established. It also ensured the test kits were giving me "accurate" readings.
If your confident it's cycled, introduce livestock slowly... |
how are your clowns doing today? how long ago did you introduce them in your tank?

They were put in after 1 week and my tank is 1 year and 8 months old. I did replace the jumper with a new clown to have a pair again. |
