    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.

    Good stuff. Glad to hear everything is getting back to normal. It is very stressfull when something goes wrong, especially when you don't know why.

    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.
