1 week of cycle done,

[mako1]

The shrimp has completely decomposed gone... algae is a frenzy everywhere my current levels are
Nitrate-25
Nitrite-.1 or less
amonia-0-.025
I am using the delux marine master test center, as my way of testing the water,
going good, or seem wierd? :notsure:

anyone?

Looks like you are on the right track. I would wait another week and make sure the ammonia and nitrite hit 0. That is when you can do a nice big water change and add your crew to kill that algae.

Sounds like you're doing fine. The hardest part about this hobby (IMO) is the patience in the cycle stage. Don't rush it, let it go its course.
