Day 9 update

[David Grubb]

So it's been 12 days since we went up and running on the tank, I did my 3rd test of the water today to see how things are going the results are as follow
Ammonia is .50 same as 3 days ago and 1st test
Nitrite is 1.0, up .75 from 3 days ago and up 1.0 from first test
Nitrate is 5.0, up 5.0 from 3 days ago and from 1st test
Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on The testing so far, I figure the ammonia would have went up higher than it has but I'm still new to this so any and all helps

Every tank will be different is this aspect of testing and time frame. Unless using totally cured Live Rock, your system will take some time to go through the cycle.
