I added 50 pounds of live rock to my 30 gallon tank on Wednesday of last week. On Friday I added some live sand on top of the Southdown and I put some macros in the filter side of my Bak Pak...
On Saturday, instead of adding a cocktail shrimp to kickstart the cycle, I dumped in some pure ammonia (no additives, same stuff I cycle FW tanks with). That day, the water tested 8.0 for ammonia, no nitrites, no nitrates...
TODAY: 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, 10 nitrates, ph 8.2
After less than a freakin' week...false readings or should I add the cleaners???
