really noob question

ur no pain:)
always happy to help.
it needs to cycle untill the ammonia spikes and then goes down to 0 so ull have to test that. it can take a week to several or even months.
temp should be about 78-80 F i keep mine at 79
and the specific gravity should be between 1.023-1.026. i keep mine at 1.025 which is very close to natural sea water.
