:cheer: I have a 125g w/70lbs lr and 125lbs of sand. I added my rock on Oct 22. A week later I had no readings. I added 3 cocktail shrimp left them in for 4 days,still no readings. I took a water sample to my lfs. He got a very small nitrite reading 0 everything else. Today a week later I took Another sample to the lfs NO readings. Should I assume that I have enough bacteria on my rocks and That is why I am not getting any ammonia? Some of my rock was taken from an established tank and the rest had been delivered that day. The lfs is telling me that the rock was fully cured and I won't really have a cycle. Can I add fish? This is very confusing to me
I thought it took longer than that. I did put in 2 turbo snails and 1 fire shrimp today. The lfs said it would be fine. This is making me nervous. I like to do things by the book. This seems to easy. THanx
