Hi all
I am new to the hobby. I started my fishless cycle on the 1st of December. I added dry reef, coral sand, decor (I believe resin; LFS said it is safe for saltwater tanks), a heater, a wave maker, and a filter with an active carbon filter. I filled the tank with RODI saltwater I bought from my LFS and dosed it with Seachem prime and stability following Seachem's instructions. Also, I started ghost-feeding from day two. In the beginning, I didn't have a test kit, but I started to measure water parameters around day three with API test strips. Then I installed a Seachem ammonia alert. Initially, I had my heater at 25C, and about 4 days ago, I increased it to 27C after watching Dr. Tim's videos. I have been waiting for the API master test kit to arrive for a while, and now I expect it to be delivered in the next 3-4 days.
Why do I get 0 ammonia/nitrites/nitrates? Any advice would be much appreciated.
