    Hello, I have a 90 gal. set up with 90# rock and sand, I seeded it with a few pounds of live rock and a couple of cups of live sand from a establised tank. I put two large raw shrimp in the tank. The tank is about 2 1/2 months old and the prems. have not changed a bit. No high amonina, no spikes of any type. just clean clear water. What do you think is going on? am I getting in a hurry?? I would have thought with the shrimp it would have spiked by now. Thanks

    With the seeding from the established tank, the spikes might have been smaller and faster. Maybe you missed it. Have you verified your test results with a different kit, or take a sample to an LFS and have them test it.
