Call me Crazy, Something does not look right.

[Anubisxii]

So like I said call me crazy but I feel like my cycle does not look right, although this is my 1st marine tank so i might have no idea what i'm talking about. I would appreciate some input if these #'s look right or i'm just being overzealous and making some thing over nothing. I must have read and watched videos for over 20+ hours on the cycle topic and thought I had an idea of what it was going to look like, although every tank is different.

I have an 18G cobalt c-vue and started with a mix of live-rock / man-made. I also used Fritz 9 with one 1/3 cube of mysis shrimp to ghost feed once if that helps.

Any input both positive or negative would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Lets start out with a welcome to R2r!!!

Your data doesn't look too out of line except for all the levels going down on Sunday???
Did you do anything to the tank Saturday or Sunday? Maybe a water change?

looks pretty standard. Let the cycle process.

Welcome to the party!
Looks kike the cycle is progressing nicely, although day 7 seems off. Did you do a water change? Double check your test results?

Thank you for all the welcomes, no water changes as of yet. I did have to add maybe 1/2G of RO water to level out salinity it was a smidgen too high. Also It is possible I could have botched the test, I typically do them at the end of the night. I'll let it do its thing and just keep an eye on it. Thank you all for the input.

Welcome to Reef2Reef! It looks great with the caveat about day 7. Keep up the good work!

Welcome.
Looks like it is cycling. Ammonia will eventually go to 0, nitrite will go to 0 and nitrate should stay at 5 or a bit more or less depending on the system. Good luck. Be patient, enjoy.

Welcome! Looks like regular new tank water shenanigans. They’ll clear up

Hello and welcome!

The tank is doing its thing and will eventually settle down...in an odd way starting/cycling a tank is one of my favorite parts.

Enjoy the process and show us some tank pics!
