Took me a little bit, did not think it was going to take that long to make 25 gal of RODI. I also did a huge rookie move and didn’t measure the can so knew how much I made. Added to much salt so salinity was 40 ppt, had to add another 4 gallons to get it to 35. With all that and being sick for a day it’s complete. Salinity is perfect, temp is steamy 78, sand is in, water is in and I am adding to brightwell starter tomorrow to kick this cycle off. I appreciate everyone’s support thus far and looking forward to what to future holds, slowly.

Got my bright well quick cycle in, tested for ammonia, read a solid 2ppt. Added in my Microbacter start xlm. Will commence my daily testing tomorrow. Super pumped and so are the kids. Going to be prepared for the 25% water change following the cycle, lol.
