hi fellow reefers, started cycling my redsea reefer 170 3 weeks ago
Week 1 - with raw prawn. dosed 2 vials of Biodigest and 500ml of Fritz Zyme 9.
Week 2 - removed old prawn and put in new prawn. 40% WC
within the first 2 weeks, Ammonia started spiking at day 3 to 1.5ppm and came down to 0.5ppm on day 10. Nitrite spiked to 4ppm at day 4 and Nitrate spiked to 100pm at day 3.
as soon as i saw ammonia dropping on day 10, i was happy. then nitrite dropped to 2ppm on day 14 - even happier.
Week 3 - removed old prawn and started dosing ammonia from Brightwell. 30% WC, dosed
