Hi Guys,
New to TRT here. I have done fresh water for a long time but my wallet was getting to thick so I decided to venture into the salt LOL. I have a question for all you fish lovers. I started my tank out about 2 1/2 weeks ago. I have a standard 10g tank with a hob aqueon 30 and a hydor nano 240 pump. I put a 20lb bag of live sand and 10lb of dry rock in. Lighting is a 4x18w t5 setup with 8 bluemoon led's. I started the cycle out with a piece of uncooked shrimp in there for about 2 days which did a good job spiking the ammonia. After about a week the ammonia started dying down and nitrites picked up to pretty much the darkest purple I have seen on a test. About a week after that (yesterday) I tested and saw the ammonia was 0ppm nitrites were dropping to about 1.5ppm and the nitrates were about 15 - 20ppm ish. I come back today and I am getting 000 across the board. I was wondering if anyone else has seen this happen. Am I done cycling?
