Hey guys, quick update. After the dust storm cleared the other day, I added a couple of deli shrimp to get the cycle startin. Added four total and after two days my readings are:
Temp: 78 degrees
Spec Gravity : 1.024
Ammonia: 1.0
Nitrite: 1.0
Nitrates: 0
pH : 8.2
Calcium : 480
I'll probably be taking the shrimp out tomorrow afternoon since the cycle has started depending on if the reading have gone up. Gotta do some searchin under a couple rocks. One of the shrimp didn't fit in a nylon bag so I tied a string to it, and wasn't thinkin ahead and once it started to decay it fell apart and sank to the bottom. Its now falling apart on the bottom of the tank at the base of a couple rocks, I wanna get it outta there before it really starts to stink! Anyway, I'll post some pictures tomorrow of where the aquascaping is so far, I plan to make a couple shelfs too with some rock that's still in the garage. Thanks guys, have a good day.
