Hi all,
having an issue with a new tank that I can’t sus out,
So added a few bits of Xenia and a toadstool. The Xenia has all but melted away to nothing and the todstall has shrivelled back into itself completely.
the tank is 8 weeks old, was a complete new setup.
450l
Live sand and dry rock.
livestock 1 clown tang transferred from my old tank.
tank was cycled using dr Tim’s one and only, however noticed today I still have nitrites. Didn’t expect that.
full range of results bellow.
ph 8.2
Nitrite +1 ppm
Nitrate 40
Phosphate 0.42
Kh 7
Calcium 560
Mag 1580
Ammonia 0
Salinity 1.025
what are my options ? Has the cycle completed or should I look to add more nitrifying bacteria ? Thanks all
