I've always had great experiences with Pacific East Aquaculture. That rock looks terrific! Aquascaping looks nice and cavey.

tbittner · 01-26-2008, 12:25 PM

Wow! That cycle started fast!

CAVINCA · 01-26-2008, 01:00 PM

really how so? how long does it normally take?

Dentoid · 01-26-2008, 01:11 PM

Cool! Let the cycle begin!

goldenmean · 01-26-2008, 01:48 PM

When using the deli shrimp to start the cycle it usually takes a couple of days for the shrimp to decompose and introduce ammonia.
The cycle probably started right away because most of the sponge will die due to exposure to air. It probably started dying during shipping being wrapped in wet newspaper only.

tbittner · 01-26-2008, 01:49 PM

For my tanks, it was usually a few days before the die off started to generate readings on the tests.

All LR is different though. It's great that you're getting readings like that already. Hopefully the cycle won't take "forever" for you.

CAVINCA · 01-26-2008, 02:08 PM

Forever is ok... Im in no hurry.. i have seemed to run into a roadblock though.
ill start a new thread on it cause it could be a useful thread.

PH pm- TBE
