I think I got a bad batch! I noticed yours came out an orange color. I seem to remember mine being clear and no smell at all! Did yours have a smell. I remember thinking I felt like I just put in water so must not have been orange. the water did turn cloudy. i am on day 6 and my nitrites have been continuously stuck on 0.25 since day 3! I checked for nitates and I do have them so thats a good sign! I remember my first tank took I think 2 1/2 with no bacteria other then live sand. I had to leave the tank along for weeks because of a family emergency. I should have added Dr Tims when I got back home but I wasnt in a hurry like now so I waited it out months and I was showing nitrates early on as well! I might have screwed up though because I detected some ammonia b4 I added it. I read later on not to add untill you have 0 ammonia! my ammonia has been stuck on 4 maybe 5 at first and havnt added anymore, I ordered some fritz turbo start which I should have in the beginning, they have much better reviews! Did you go through an ugly stage and how long before you turned lights on? I am anxious to transfer some high end zoas from my other 2 tanks. This is a 20 gallon frag tank and I also have no sand and just rubble and rock so could be taking longer for that reason. Do you think I should do a water change with ammonia so high? Someone said Dr Tim said to do one if over 2 ppm! Great video! Thanks for sharing!
I have a rose and tomorrow I’m picking up a Chicago bta….. I’m so nervous about mixing them. But I don’t think I could get the rose out without killing it.
I got the same return I see you got the flow generator what size is it and brand also where can I get the extension size. How long did you wait until you added the anemones..? Thanks
What is the secret to keeping a mixed anenome tank? I have rainbows and when I add green nems they slowly shrink up..? The water params are good. I am going to try carbon.
i dont understand how your tanks bacteria works so fast. i did this exactly the same and my 250 g2+ stalled. even after a 50% water change im in between 2-5 ppm nitrite. hopefully it levels out 2 days tops
