Cycling my 29g nanocube.
Stock setup w nanocube skimmer, heater (75f). 29g of liverock from an established aquarium (from a member).
I have snails (2 nessarius) and at least 10 small cerith. I guess these came on the lr and seed sand from the guy I
got the rock from. Seeing a few copepods hanging around as well. A these are alive and seem to be doing well.
Approx 1 week into cycle.
Will have to double check numbers when I get home
Ammonia at 0
Nitrites at .25
Nitrates at 20
Testing for phos (cant remember result), calc (ideal levels), and dkh (ideal levels).
Chasing aiptasia with aiptasia x daily and killing what I see and treat, but they keep popping up. From what I gather this is common. Is there anything else I should be doing?
Starting to notice brown algae on a few spots in rocks and sand. What should I do?
pH at like 7.9 I know it needs to be higher. Should I buffer or will it level out?
