Day #8
Ammonia 1.5
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0
I have been cycling with base rock and some raw shrimp and clam. Should I remove the rotten prawn and clam ? If so, do I add a new prawn back in for more ammonia?

Remove the rotten stuffs and get some MB7.
Nice build. Keep it coming.

So I got some free chaeto(for marine fauna with pods) and a churro looking thingy from my friends reef tank hopefully this will seed my tank




Ohh I managed to relocate the mame skimmer back to chamber 2 by converting the mounting bracket with some magnets

Day #10
NH3=0.5
NO2=0.1
NO3=2
wierd, I didn’t see a spike on NO2

Hey Sean, you're cycling and you added chaeto??? You should have cycled your tank first before adding chaeto.

update.. today is day 24th.
on the final stage of cyclying, algae blooming CUC is mowing at it right now.. have been dosing MB7 everyday, did a 50% water change 4 days ago dont know why my Nitrate is VERY high between 50-100 NH3 and NO2 is almost undetectable.... now what should i do to reduce the high nitrate? I have to transfer my livestock from the other tank very soon cuz my otherhalf has been bitching me for that for the past 10 days... should i perform another wc? or go get some NO3 dosing liquid?
