Hey guys, well I could not wait for my 225 build it was driving me nuts so I started a nano for now to keep me sane. So the tank has been running for one day now all dry rock and dry sand.

Water change helped

 

[ReeferMatt]

That doesn't sound cycled. Is there any sort of amonia source in the tank or just curing LR?

Did you use already live sand, already live rock and any cycling boosters?

 

[2sweet]

you have to take things very slowly with salt water...research research and then research some more!

I added added a cycle booster From day one I see like 3 hydrogen sulphide spots in the sand. But the sand was my sand from my old tank even thought it was dried it had dead stuff in it to provide ammonia so that's why it was a quick cycle. I used a culture of bacteria for saltwater tanks containing nitrifying bacteria and other essentials
