Need help! THINGS APPEARING ON MY NEW Cycling Tank

Postby cjorgepa » Thu Jul 23, 2015 9:08 pm

Hi Mga Kareefers!

I am new to the hobby! Need your help. I'm currently cycling my 35 gallon tank for 3 days now and I need your advise on the ff: questions. See attached pictures.

1. What are the dark/gray patches in some of my LR? Is it a good sign or not?
2. What is the "worm-like" organism attached to my live rock?
3. I have seen some worms that are dead and decomposing in the bottom of the tank. Is this expected since my tank is cycling?
4 My tank does not smell oceany or malansa. What sign is this?
THANKS TO ALL YOUR INPUTS :)

strange things appear during cycling which maybe confusing to some. Just ignore everything you see and focus
on the main purpose of cycling which is zero ammonia, zero nitrite and nitrate with reading. test kits and patience
is your best friend at this point.
