thanks fatbike!...will pm you when I'm ready
Currently, i've had the tank set up for a week already.
Can I find out more about the cycling regime for pico tanks?
I've read all sorts of stuff that seem to contradict each other...I'm using cured live rock and I've read some articles saying that one week of cycling is enough...
while others say have to wait 4 weeks...what's a good practice?
Also, i need some help with my water tests...
current my readings are like this...
ph 8.2
ammonia - 0.5ppm
nitrite - o ppm
nitrate 20ppm
is it necessary to get the nitrate levels lower before putting in hardy corals like mushrooms?
also, any tips on what i should be doing to help my pico would be much appreciated...
for some reason, there doesn't seem to be much evaporation and my salinity levels seem ok...
i thought it's common to top up with freshwater daily or every 2 days?
