I am new to this saltwater aquarium hobby. Here is my set up. I have a 100G long tank. The substrate is crushed coral and sand. I have put approximately 115 lbs of base rock (reef bone) and no live rock yet. I have a sealife systems sump with bioballs. (2) powerheads, protien skimmer, and a UV steralizer. My tank was set up on 08-17-2005 using Instant Ocean Salt. My test results have been the following:
08-17-05 (set-up and using prime water conditioner)
Ammonia- 0
Nitrites- 0
Nitrate- 0
PH 8.0
08-22-05
Ammonia- .5
Nitrites- .50
Nitrate- 10
PH- 8.0
08-23-05
Ammonia- 1.0
Nitrites- .50
nitrates- 10
PH- 8.0
Just a few questions?
1. Is this tank cycling? Do I just leave it alone or need to be concerned with the rising values?
2. I am wanting to add some live rock. When should that be done?
3. When should I be concerned with adding Damsels?
Thanks for all of your help.
