m_wtan79@yahoo.com.sg Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Finally tank is fill up and all the scaping done. Kick started the cycle process last fri. But no spike in ammonia and still tested 0 for nitrite n nitrate. But tank actually cloudy and smelly from the 1st day but all clear on the 4th day. Not sure what is going on. Anyone can advise?

tofubox Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Hey bro, just taking a wild guess here. Not an expert. It may seem due to your large tank with not alot of live rocks, you won't be getting a alot of decaying organism or bioload. Top that off with the large water volume, even harder to get a reading initially. Did u use anything to kickstart the cycle? Are you using cured live rocks? Whats actually odd was your tank was smelly on the first few days, its an indication that there s bad stuff in there, hence I can only wild guess. I suggest throwing in some fish food or dead prawn to actually get an ammonia reading, so at least u know the cycle is happening. Btw, are those wavemakers good enough for a 7ft? Seems so small! hehe Quote I Love Stagsss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_wtan79@yahoo.com.sg Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 I not sure i have enough LR but it shd be about 100-150kgs in there. At least 50% of them are from my previous tank. I did put a pcs of mkt prawn but disappear with 3 day. Been putting in pellets everyday too. Thats the problem no spike in any ammonia or nitrite. Wave maker rated 13000l/hr but i think not enough as the other side quite stagnant. Looking to get another 2. Maybe i try to throw a few more prawn in 2molo.

tofubox Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Lol, sounds like some super expedite cycling process. Usually my market prawn at start will take couple of days, maybe about a week for it to fully disappear. Yeah, probably try putting in a couple more market prawns to be on the safer side. Once those go and u still dont get a reading, probably can safely say its cycled? Since whatever u throw in dont give you a reading, means bacteria is in there doing its job already.

SRC Member youdontnowm Posted June 4, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted June 4, 2014 Can be because of ultraphos too. What flow is your ultraphos in the reactor ? try to reduce it to about 200l/hr.

SRC Member kenyee Posted June 5, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted June 5, 2014 Bro nice video..healthy fishes n corals..very vibrant colour..imho, I would prefer reef scaping look to be like AM's DTs though.. Side note, the overflow sound is indeed loud..look like ah Beng's DT overflow style..dunnoe issit good as in better gas exchange anot coz I prefer durso pipe.. Check what's ur return pump?..notice the return pipe is a black Y-joint output..note that the small opening restrict water volume being pump up thus reducing the turn over volume..
