It is my fifth week of cycling my 72 bow tank. I have 25 to 30lbs LR from a established tank and 20lbs. LS on top of 4"dsb. I Put 2 dead shrimp from the grocery store into the tank 2 weeks ago. I also have been putting flake food into the tank. I am not getting any spikes in my amonia,nitrite,& nitrate. Am doing anything wrong? Is my tank skipping the cycle from the LR being established in another tank before I put it in mine? You would think the ammonia level would go high from the shrimp & flake food, but it is sitting right at just under .25. The color on the test is hard to read it was in between 0 & .25. But no nitrites or nitrates??? I had LFS double check my test readings with there own and they got the same readings. Can anyone help???
