Gd morning reefers,
I recently set up my 5 ft tank and was keen to cycle with the live prawn method, however the tank maker said it was not necessary and proposed dosing microbacter7 and biofuel daily for 7 days and start measuring the water parameters.
currently at 7th day, the reading is such:
Salinity 1.028
NO3 25
PO4 0.03
CA 500
MG 1500
KH 8.0
Numbers look too good to be true for a week of cycling. I am not in a hurry to put in livestock, so am ok to wait on. However, will the reading change as a wait on? Is the cycling proper?
