I have about 60 lbs. of live rock that has been set dry for about 9 months. I cleaned, bleached and rinsed (twice) the rock and set out in the sun to dry.
I have 2 months before the tank I ordered is delivered so I wanted to start cycling the rock. I placed into a bin and added new salt water (1.025), heater (79 F) and powerheads . I also added the appropriate amount of Fritz turbo start 900 to get the cycle going. I'm wondering if I need to introduce fish food or some type of ammonia source?
I would also like some advice on steps I should take in the next 2 months so the rocks are ready for my tank when it arrives.
Thanks,
Julian
