New 60G marineland reef tank

[SirKevinD]

Hey everyone! I've been building my tank and its on day 1 of cycling. PH 8.0, ammonia 0.25, nitrites 0, nitrates 0, KH 10, calcium 460, phosphate 0. 60# of live arag alive special grade sand, 55# of Aquamaxx dry rock. Running two MP10's, 20G sump, bubble magus curve 5 skimmer, 250W heater, hydor 740 seltz return, JBJ ATO. My new maxspect razor lights come in tomorrow, the finnex I have on there are just for show. This is the first tank I've ever had not cheap.

It's looking very good! Really nice. There's no need to do all those tests at this time. What are you using to start the cycle? Just test for ammonia until it reads 0, then test for nitrites until they read 0. Then you can test for nitrates. Have you ever read this article? The Mature Aquarium
