I think my tank is almost done cycling but I didn't get that huge spike in ammonia or Nitrites that everyone else gets. Tank is 100g with 40g sump/fuge. Here is what I have done to give you an idea Muriatric Acid washed all of my rock, Rinsed with RODI, Dried for 2 weeks, Put rocks in tank with carib arag alive fast cycling sand, Filled with water and used 10 gallons from an established system, Also threw in 4lbs of rock from established tank in fuge, day 1-3 threw a large shrimp from the market to decay in tank, end of day 3 pulled out rancid shrimp. Didnt test for days 1 or 2 but the image shows my parameters. Am I looking good to add fish and water change once nitrites hit 0?
Oh and also Skimmer was off for first 3 days and no lights have been on to avoid un-wanted algae growth. I also didn't get a diatom bloom.
