Tick tock tick tock lol

 

[ryan2428]

8.0 ph. 0.2 ammonia. 0 nitrate. On nitrates as well. Hydro reading 1.024 if This is what u looking for

 

[ryan2428]

I am new at this so bear with me lol I think I'm doing it right lol

 

[jay0705]

U have no inverts or fish in tank? If u have ammonia your cycle is still going.

 

[ryan2428]

0.2 ammonia nothing but live rock and base rock and live sand . Didn't think 0.2 was bad but I can wait lol

 

[ryan2428]

I do have 2 snails that came out of no we're sorry not snails crabs in a shell

 

[jay0705]

Lol its not bad, but in general a fully cycled tank wont show ammonia. Just keep testing the nitrate and nitrite should spike then level to zero or low. If not u could have a dead critter causing the ammonia

 

[ryan2428]

Np will do Ty verry much if it is something dead what to do if in the rock ? don't have to answer just wondering

 

[jay0705]

Was your live rock cured? Even small die off on lr will cause ammonia to show. Your fine, and seem to be heading in the rt direction.

 

[ryan2428]

And yes I am very sarcastic sometimes lol

 

[ryan2428]

Yep iT was cured I'm in no hurry with the tank . Kids just wanted to c something besides the two small crabs they can wait. . It is my tank lol
