Just a quick update with fts. I bought a Rio 1400 waterpump with a flow rate of over 400gph which will do great for my purposes and was a better alternative than the 160gph Maxijet 600 i had sitting in there.
Here are the chemical readings thus far:
Ammonia - 1
Nitrate - 5
Nitrite - 0.3
Ph - 8.2
Looks like the cycle is well under way and i'm looking forward to the end. Although i'm not going to rush it.
I made sure to leave lots of room for corals and additions
Thanks for looking!
