When should I add chaeto and start running my fuge? I don’t want to start to early and starve/kill it, but I don’t want to wait too long and give nuisance algae a foothold.
I’ve started a new 30g tank with a 10g sump/fuge. My nitrogen cycle is complete and has been for a few weeks. Total cycle time so far is 53 days. I have 3 fish (1 maroon clown, 2 pj cards), no coral, no cuc, no algae and no coraline. A tiny bit of diatoms on the sand just showed up.
Ammonia 0
Nitrites 0
Nitrates around 5
Phosphate .03
