    Default Has my tank cycled?

    Hi I just started my saltwater tank. I have a 55 gallon tank I have 30 lbs of live rock from my local fish store. I've been checking my water chemistry for a week now and all levels are the same. Has my tank cycled? Am I ready to add a fish?

    Please post your parameters for Ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate.

    That will tell you if you are cycled or not
    If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.
