Wat u using to kickstart the nitrogen cycle?
Do not turn on your uv light or reactors as it will hinder the nitrogen cycle.

Yup, will monitor on the MarinePure media. Doing fish less cycle now. Waiting to see how fast can the bio film form up on the media.

There is a glass panel on top of the sump so the ACDC air pump won't get wet.

Size 9"-10" red aro in a 7X3X2.5 tank is way to small. Why don't get mid or adult size red?

That's a very huge and nice tank, looking for more updates when fishes are in.

Btw, better if put the acdc above water level, imho.

NICE!!!:D Big playground for 5 juv reds. Any plans to add more tank mates?:)

The current seems strong. What wavemaker are u using?

ken_yg 02-09-2014 12:03 PM

Think tank still not properly cycle yet.
There should be some reading on nitrate to shown nitrification ongoing.
As such monitor & control feeding.

Zero readings for ammonia, nitrite & nitrate for new tank with new medias usually mean that nitrification process has not started.
When we said tank filtration is cycled, it mean that nitrification process is completed with right bacterias establish in filtration to balance bio-loads production, thus ammonia & nitrite will be at safe level. Each of these spike at different phases as their nitrification environment are related.
When nitrification is completed, it is not usual to see zero NO3, the final product of nitrification process.

Nitrification process starts from day when one added fishes (assuming one is not using MP or urine) to the tank & may take up to 8 weeks or longer.
Hope the explanation help.:)
