What’s Happening? • Ammonia production begins as the raw piece of shrimp starts to decompose in your tank • It’s not uncommon for this to occur on Week 2 Expected WQ Parameters Temp. 65-78°F Salinity 31-33ppt or 1.023-24 SG pH 8.0 Ammonia (NH3) ≥0.25 ppm Nitrite (NO2) 0 ppm What’s Happening? • Ammonia has spiked higher • Nitrite production begins as the bacteria converts ammonia to nitrite • pH begins to naturally drop • If no ammonia has shown up by now, add a second piece of raw shrimp to boost the ammonia production Cycling is the most important part of setting up your new tank! It ensures your tank is a biologically stable and healthy environment for any living animal. Below you’ll find the weekly progression your newly setup saltwater aquarium should follow. The cycling timeline varies for every aquarium; so don’t worry if yours isn’t aligned exactly! Sometimes it takes an extra week. This guide is to be used only after thoroughly reading and following the full instructions on our blog: [Moon Jellyfish Blog] What’s Happening? • Ammonia is starting to drop towards zero • Nitrite has spiked higher • It’s not uncommon for nitrite to not spike above 0.5-1.0 ppm; any presence of nitrite shows your tank is in the middle of cycling What’s Happening? • Both ammonia and nitrite have zeroed out • It’s not uncommon for ammonia to zero out before nitrite; give nitrite another week to clear out Week 1 Expected WQ Parameters Temp. 65-78°F Salinity 31-33ppt or 1.023-24 SG pH 7.8-8.0 Ammonia (NH3) 1.0-2.0 ppm Nitrite (NO2) ≥0.25 ppm Expected WQ Parameters Temp. 65-78°F Salinity 31-33ppt or 1.023-24 SG pH ≤7.8 Ammonia (NH3) ≤1.0 ppm Nitrite (NO2) 1.0-2.0 ppm Expected WQ Parameters Temp. 65-78°F Salinity 31-33ppt or 1.023-24 SG pH ≤7.8 Ammonia (NH3) 0 ppm Nitrite (NO2) 0 ppm Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 What’s Happening? • Baseline readings should be taken before or at the same time as adding the starter bacteria and shrimp • These parameters indicate that your tank is starting off right • Temperature and salinity should be maintained throughout the cycle Expected WQ Parameters Temp. 65-78°F Salinity 31-33ppt or 1.023-24 SG pH 8.0-8.1 Ammonia (NH3) 0 ppm Nitrite (NO2) 0 ppm Baseline Fish-less Cycling Program Sunset Marine Labs
