I've had dry fiji rock and sand inthe tank for a week. My live rock is standing by ready to go in. I wanted to do some basic water tests to begin the recording process. I assume i will be chucking in a dead shrimp to start the cycle soon.
Im using a cheap marineland testing kit save for the specific gravity im using a refractometer. I know, i know...on the test kits...ill get something better down the road.
Ph 7.8
Amonia .3
Nitrite .2
Nitrate 0
Alk 5.6 (KH)
Salinity 1.025
Is within a reasonably sized ballpark of where I should be at this point? D these numbers make since considering there is really nothing in my tank but some base rock and sand for about a week.
