Hi guys, ive got a question regarding cycling cured and uncured live rock.
I am just starting up
Apparently i bought some really nice live rock with coraline algae patches all over, from the LFS.
It has some mini crabs, tiny flowers n etc inside the rock, I am assuming that these are cured live rocks?
My question is; given that it is cured. Do i still need the time to let it sit and cycle the new tank?
Its been cycling for a week now, i still see little/no signs of ammonia spike. Nitrite is at ZERO still.
Nitrate is at 5.
Does this mean that i am ready to put in live stock?
Please advise
