Just started up a 38g FOWL. Its been up and running for 3 days now and here are some test results....
PH - 8.2
AMMONIA - 0
NITRITE - 0.25PPM
NITRATE - 0.40PPM
SALINITY - 1.023
I expect the nitates to go a little higher as nitrites zero out, but overall does this look good after just 3 days? I have 30 pounds of Figi live rock(cured) and a 3" bed of sand, which includes 20lbs of "arag-alive." I'd love to get my first fish before the holidays, saying everything looks good before Friday, but would it be smart after only a week of cycling? thanks...
