So.. nothing is really changed yet. Up and running for 9 days now, tested the water yesterday and was showing 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, and a little bit of nitrate's. Oddest cycle I've had yet, could be the fact i used new virgin rock along with a piece of live, and live sand along with some water from an existing system. Who knows, looks like it may end up being a short cycle but i'll give it another few days and test again.
