Alright, its been a couple days and my NH3 is 0 so I am going to add an anemone; a 3 day old, 14g cube should be ready for this, right?
Only kidding...
My NH3 reading has not budged from 0 so I am assuming the live rock was very well cured. In order to jump start the cycle I am considering adding a shrimp or some fish food. If anybody out there is reading this thread, what have you guys/gals used in the past to start the cycle? I've heard of the deli shrimp, fish food, and using a Damsel, however, I won't be using a live fish as I don't want to just kill it when there are other options.
Also, for those of you who have used a shrimp, did you use a raw or cooked(boiled such as in shrimp cocktail)? Are there benefits to one over the other?
