I didn't get a huge NH3/NH4 spike but I plan on moving very slowly with this 125 (155 total) gallon reef. What's your analysis of my cycle. Looking OK? I know the Ca needs to be adjusted.


Date-------1/19/03----------------1/26/03
Time-------3:30 PM----------------9:30 AM
Temp------80.1--------------------79.0
SG---------1.0220-----------------1.0265
pH----------8.4---------------------8.4
Alk----------Normal----------------Normal (Red Sea only has Lo/N/Hi)
NH3/NH4--2.50--------------------0.50
NO2--------0.20--------------------1.00
NO3--------2.5----------------------10.0
PO4--------0.2-----------------------0.2
Ca---------400----------------------350

Thanks!

I'd say you are progressing nicely... With the lack of a HUGE spike, I agree that going slowly would be advised... 1 fish every couple weeks should be fine.. What are you planning to keep in there?
 
I think I've built an environment that will allow for a fairly wide range of life. While my focus for the past year has been on hardware and setting up the best environment I can provide for future tank inhabitants, I'll now begin looking for the "software."

I would like to have various corals & reef-safe fish & inverts. I'll post my tank specs today so you can see what I have so far.

Thanks!
