Hallo! Ich freue mich, dieser Community beigetreten zu sein, das ist mein erstes Becken, also freue ich mich darauf, von denen mit mehr Erfahrung und Weisheit als ich zu lernen. Wenn ihr irgendwelche Tipps habt, teilt sie bitte mit mir! Lasst mich wissen, wie ich mich mit meinem ersten NSA Aquascape geschlagen habe.
Eine Frage habe ich: Ich habe lebenden Sand und etwas Lebendgestein verwendet. Ich habe auch Bakterien und Ammoniak dosiert. Mein neuester Test zeigt fast 0 Ammoniak, 0 Nitrit und 0,2 Nitrat. Was sagt das aus? Ist mein Zyklus abgeschlossen? Danke euch allen!
Hello! I’m happy to have joined this community, this is my first tank so I’m looking forward to learn from those with more experience and wisdom than me. If you have any advice please share with me! Let me know how I did for my first NSA aquascape.
One question I have is, I used live sand and some live rock. I also dosed bacteria and ammonia. My most recent test is showing near 0 ammonia, 0nitrite and .2 nitrate. What does that say? Is my cycle complete? Thanks everyone!

Love what you’ve done with the rock scape, in regards to the cycle, when did you start the cycle? I used Dr. Tim’s fishless cycling guide and my tank was cycled in 2 weeks.

Thank you! I used Prodbio micro startup, it’s a French company that makes vials of ammonia and bacteria it said fish ready in 12hrs. So I’m not sure couldn’t find much info about it online.

The safest option is always wait till absolute 0 ammonia absolute 0 Nitrite. And see some Nitrate! Hope this helps and welcome to the hobby
If the bacteria you have can keep the ammonia and nitrite at zero, you’re good to go. Also, make sure to separate the Xenia from the rest of the rock work! I didn’t believe people when they told me but it grows as fast as people say. Mine went from the size of a quarter to the size of a softball in 6 months. I like having it on an “island” near the front of my tank because it does look super cool in the flow

Thanks for the advice! Luckily that rock is some live rock that’s not connected to the main scape, I plan on removing it when everything is stable for a while. I’ll move the Xenia then!
No problem! People talk bad about Xenia but in my opinion that’s only if it’s mismanaged. It’s a great space filler and because it grows so fast it makes you feel like you’re accomplishing something too lol Also, it’s fantastic at sucking up nitrates; I actually have to dose neonitro to keep it detectable
