SRC Member Hafiz-zul Hasif Posted June 9, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted June 9, 2015 Hey reefers after the 8th times my water is finally cycled. My water condition right now is excellent! Now that my water parameters are ok, I want to ask you guys, should I head to the fish shop and get my new fish? if so, what kind of fish and sizes are suitable for newly cycled tank? How many fishes should I add at once? I know that I am not supposed to overstock my tank. I hope you guys can give me advices thanks!

SRC Member Hafiz-zul Hasif Posted June 9, 2015 Author SRC Member Share Posted June 9, 2015 Hi guys thanks for replying, tank specs Tank size: L:48cm B:24cm H:24cm It's a 4feet tank. 4x2x2 Ammonia: 0ppm Nitrite:0ppm Nitrate:0ppm PH:8.2-8.4 Salinity: 1.024 If you guys are wondering why 8th times because my water has never cycled properly. I always have to wait it to cycle more than 3mnths. But that 3mnths also the water is still the same. Ammonia,nitrite and nitrate very high.

Guest Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Maybe you can consider clownfish or globy for a start. Since your tank size is rather limited, you might want to plan for a fish stock list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some easy corals like zoa, mushroom to test water condition Sent from my HM NOTE 1LTE using Tapatalk That's a good idea! If I buy 2 clown fish and 2 yellow tangs and some clean up crew, will the ammonia,nitrite,and nitrate go down like maybe 1ppm? Or will it stay 0ppm?

SRC Member Hafiz-zul Hasif Posted June 10, 2015 Author SRC Member Share Posted June 10, 2015 Or can I just put it in the display tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiggie Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I think u are getting it all wrong again. Tank cycling should be done with rocks in the tank, preferably live rocks , Dead rocks can be used but it will take longer time to cycle , The idea is to cultivate bacteria that will run the 'ecosystem' in the tank Quote Stairway to Heaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
