I set up the tank 3 weeks ago. Half the rock was cooked, and Half was dried 'pre-cycled' macro rock from macrorock.com. I added about 80 pound of sand.
I let it go for a week. No spike or anything. Then Lord Deanos suggested putting in a shrimp. So i put in 3 jumbo shrimp for good measure. The Ammonia spiked to like ~.25-.5. But now, 5 days later, here are my readings:
Ammonia is now trace and no Nitrite. What is going on? Ive honest been half ass watching it cycle so i dont have super accurate readings. So how can i tell if its done or didnt even start?
