I am on my 6th day of cycling my 40 gal salt tank. It currently has live sand, a small piece of live rock and then about 45 pounds of rock in it. I did a water check today and the results are below.
ph: 8.8
sg: 1.024
nitrite:0
nitrate:0
ammonia: 0.50
Do I ad something to lower the ph or is this part of the cycling process? Do I need to make anyother water adjustments or just keep checking daily?
