Hey guys I need some help from those who have used muriatic acid (MA) to cure rock. A few moths ago, I cured all of my rock in MA in preparation for moving and resetting up my systems. I bought a huge rubber maid and did diluted the MA as instructed. I left the rock in the MA solution for about 10 days.
A week and a half ago I started cycling a new tank using new sand from Dr fosters and Smith and the cured rock. I put a few of the cured rocks in as well. Finally I put some raw fish in to start the cycle. WELL here we are at least 10 days later and the tank is devoid of hint of cycling. Anyone have any ideas? I did not seed the tank with any live rock etc and I would like not to. I have done this a few times before and never had a problem with the cycle starting. Im at a loss
