Hello all,

Sound like cycle or water from old tank?
Moved from a 29g to a 54 corner last weekend. Used new sand and mixed 35g of Rodi for new saltwater and some water from established tank. I also had about 20 lbs of liverock.

All tests came back 0 minus the ammonia at 1.0 and pH around 8.0. I may have slight die off from 1 rock as it was in tote in garage.


Going to change 10g this weekend and change the water in my liverock tote as well as I prob have 50 lbs or so sitting with a powerhead.

Yes, it likely needs to cycle a bit as a number of things may have died in the transfer. Things on the rock get crushed, for example. THe garage rock may also be contributing.

Are there delicate organisms in the tank? Fish? Corals?
