even after cycled you will still get a reading for ammonia and/or nitrite sometimes as the bacteria may still be converting after a big shit session. They will be low reading though. I got a .25 ammonia reading last night, but 0 nitrite

Beeso, looking good - egg shells have proved to be a good buffer for me
That rock looks a nice size also - if you want some tips on rock growing get in touch with Jaymie :wink:

VB, This will be hard to do, but try not to look at your bed for TWO DAYS.............then you'll see the BANG i'm talking about. I didn't realise the growth until i look back at my last picture i posted :)

Egg shells : Yes, good for buffering, but they need to be in the water flow. buried in the gravel is fine, but NOT just layed on top.

Have noticed the bang when I look at the pictures I took tonight compared to those I took last Friday night - only 6 bloody days.
