thank you allll youre so kind lol. the best part is ending my tank cycle. i havent even started yet. i just did a test for ammonia and got a >0.25 reading

what a waste of a test. should i add some shrimp cocktail or will my bioload of mushrooms, teeny weeny hermit, conch, emerald crab, featherdusters, bristle worm and the mysterious shrimp be enough????

You already have ammonia, therefore theres no need to add a shrimp. The ammonia is probably from a slight die off on the live rock. Just wait for the ammonia to go away, then the nitrite, then you're all cycled

Add nothing to the tank right now, just run it like you are and let it cycle.

I doubt your mushroom rock will die... those things could survive nuclear winter... just ask anyone who's tried to get rid of them!

Congrats on the tank!

Sweet setup. Can you PM the price you paid for the tank?

EmilyT · 04-28-2007, 10:38 PM

oh sorry about that i mean i got less than 0.25 for a reading not greater than.

green shrimp 1/4" sound like large amphipods.

if the rock was from an old tank there might not be much of a cycle.
