I appreciate all the input for sure. Im notnsure Brandon is basing his quote about rock on thenpic but I did say it was that reef rock that comes colored like Coraline. That is not real coraline. I stored my rock in fresh saltwater from lfs for xport and then it sat in those buckets for about 3 to 4 hours as I mixed the saltwater that would go in the tank. Not sure it matters but no heat or circulation while the buckets sat but wa indoors. Fact matter is I have seen numbers change over the week with spike mid week and now ammonia down and nitrite and Nitrate up. Im just letting it cook as not in hurry. I do wish I had just done dry rock and have learned my lesson lol.
