30 gal tank, it used to have fish, but they are in a qt for the conditions of the water, i also have two shrimps, 50 lb live rock. Magnun 350 bio filter, termometer at 82 degrees and treating the tank with cycle (started the first dose yesterday)
i know the nitrite and nitrate are part of the biological cycle of the tank. and if you have it present is a sign of your beneficial bacteria starting to be created.
1. but how long does this take? the water and the filter were put 2 months ago, the fish were added a month ago(total 2 months and a week?
2. the other questions is, after this bacteria is created, would i get nitrite and nitrate high again?
3. the last question, would coral accelerate this process? if not, when would it be safe to add coral
thank you
