My tank has been setup for 1 week now, Red Sea 200 xl with live sand, live rock.
My parameters are the following
PH:8.2
Nitrite: .1
Nitrate: 45-50
salinity: 1.025
ammonia: Couldn't tell if it was 0 or 0.2
I have added fritz nitrifying bacteria and 2 clownfish per instructions from bulk reef supply.
Any opinions on the following info? Does it look good, is the cycle not fished/is it finished, etc!
Thanks for any input!

What test kit are you using for ammonia?
 
Okay, it does appear to have cycled. I'd do a small water change to bring down the N03.
 
Ok I will give that a try, is it possible that the cycling didn’t even start yet? Thanks a lot for your help btw
