Those of you who know me, know I have been dealing with an unexpected cycle. I just tested my water(3 weeks later) and finally everything is getting back to normal.

ammo:.25ppm
nitrite:0ppm
nitrate:2ppm
ph:8.3
CA:450ppm
AK:12

So yeah, its ALMOST over finally!!! I still have a algae bloom, and Im sure thats why the nitrates are so low. Enough carbon for a 300g tank Im sure has a lot to do with it too, haha.

The funny part is, its all a waste of time. I am doing away with it soon, right now that tank is just housing my big liverock and a pair of clowns. Im waiting on a order of seio's and sand to come in so I can totally redo the tank and move it into the living room and make room for another stock tank in my fish room.
