i started my 45 gallon tank 10 days ago, and still no signs of cycling . ive added 15 lbs of live rock, and the shrimp. no sign of ammonia, or nitrites yet. my ph is 8.0, and my salinity is 1.021 at 78-80 degrees. i was thinking maybe i should stop my wet/dry and let the ammonia build up? or would this just stop my cycle once i put it back on. i know i have to be patient, but isnt this really long, just to see the first signs of my cycel? any info or ideas would be great.
