ok day 2 and as i read some threads on cycling my tank i came across a a thread stating measure your ammonia and if it is over 2ppm to do a complete water change...... well i measure mine today and i see about 3 to 4 ppm ammonia.....
instantly got up and performed a 25% water change, started making RO water and heading to LFS for salt.
I also read not to start with sand in the tank, of course i have seen other posts that say you can start with sand in the tank.
what is the general consensus? I have 3.5 inches of sand in the bottom.
