REDJAY, WHY DIDNT YOU JUST DIE FROM YOUR ALLERGY? STILL CAN POST HERE. This is how I feel right now when I see that you posted again. its one thing posting your lovely beautiful totm material tank and another thing just being outright childish to someone who is actually advising you in a nice way. ClementC wasnt even being aggressive towards you. and to drive home that point, here's your first post, overdripping with sincerity. if this is the kind of person that you are, whole year long you got allergy to yourself.

Very beautiful clownfish!

Bro think your tank too early for mandarin fish. They need a well established tank with sufficient supply of copepods to survive

It's always nice to see new reefers starting up their tanks. Congrats on your new tank! Hmm.. Christmas should be in time for your first few fishes. To speed up your ammonia spike, do chop up the prawn into smaller pieces and deshell it so there's more surface area for decomposition. Keep your wavemaker on to keep water moving. Lights, chiller should be off as bacteria grow best in dim environments and warm water speeds up metabolism. But then make sure water does not exceed 31 degrees (should not in our current weather). Skimmer should be off too so that the ammonia in the water does not get skimmer off. You should get an ammonia spike in 1-2 days. Faster if the prawn is in high flow area. U will know when it spikes. Your tank will smell horrible but that's the process u need to go through. It will last for at least 1 week as all the ammonia get converted to Nitrite. Nitrite will spike and take around another week or 2 weeks to go away. Once Nitrite is consistently at zero, leave it running for a week and then change 50% water to reduce Nitrate levels (usually above 50 just after cycling. Try and get it to below 10). Once done, fish can start going in slowly. Dose bacteria and the process will be faster. But overdosing doesn't help.

ClementC AH.......chew............ i am allergic to bullshit
