So I’m currently about to cycle my 25 lagoon. Have dry rock and ocean direct sand. I’ve read to give the tank 24 hours before adding any ammonia because the bac in the sand might provide some and would spike the ammonia over the 2 ppm. I used a Red Sea ammonia test kit and it reads the yellow 0. My curiosity lead me to take the 5 ml tank water and add 2 drops of the brightwell quick cycle ammonium chloride and test it. It’s completely clear. No color. Is this normal? PH is 8.2
I watched the BRS Biome series and wanted to replicate it to see if I’m successful at reducing algae at the beginning stage. I know they cycled with 2 clowns but thought that a fishless cycle would be better. Am I wrong here?
