SRC Member Drahc Posted November 21, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted November 21, 2014 Bought a new house more than a year ago and it took me that long to realize i have a good spot for reef tank right in front of me. I was originally looking at buying a used 4feet tank but didnt find any that suites my budget and likes in terms of design (specially the overflow design). Finally last month I've found a 5ft tank thats close to what im looking for and its been delivered to my place by sgbros. finish setting up. will add more pics...

SRC Member Drahc Posted November 24, 2014 Author SRC Member Share Posted November 24, 2014 to continue. 10-18-2014 i started my tank cycling. im still waiting for stocks of sand to come in but i decided to start the cycle early so i can put some livestock as early as i can. everything is dead on my tank as rock is bleached (thanks tofu for advise) and sand is washed 5-6 times. ive decided to go fishlesz and shrimpless cycle using ammonia powder. the product that i used is the same as that. i purchased it at clementi bakery shop. i screwed up the measurement and added to much of ammonia in my tank thath the color is wayyyyyed off the chart, its like realy realy dark green. thaths when i used stability on the first week and prodibio the next week follow up with 20% water change. after 2 weeks ammonia drops 0, nitrite is low and nitrate is 20ppm+. i used prime then decided to add a couple of livestock to maintain the source of ammonia to prevent bacteria die off. 11-01-2014 up until now i still have them except for 1 chromis who recently jump out of iso box.

SRC Supporter SubzeroLT Posted November 24, 2014 SRC Supporter Share Posted November 24, 2014 Good idea to use ammonium carbonate (baker's ammonia) to cycle the tank. How much did you put initially? I understand that the rule of thumb is 1 teaspoon per 200L to get about 5ppm of ammonia.

I understand that the rule of thumb is 1 teaspoon per 200L to get about 5ppm of ammonia. at first i used half teaspoon and diluted it on 100ml water. i poured it to my tank and didnt detect any. then i diluted 5 teaspoon more on 500ml water and poured all of it. ( yeah i know im so bad and lazy) and thats where it shoots up way high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
