Live or dead?Adding rock in at this stage alter the cycle
Yes it’s normal with a heavy bio load, and no way for the nitrate to be extracted, ie water change, macro algae etc.or if its normal?
Rock doesn't remove nitrate.I phrased that wrong. I think its cycling but I think my cycle is stuck. My nitrate is stuck at 100 +
You don’t need to drop the nitrates in the rock bin. Just transfer them over to the tank. The nitrates are not in the rock, it’s in the water.if i do a 100 percent water change and get it down to 0 or 2 it will be good for my tank and ready, right?
problem, My tank is Fully cycled with fish, coral, SPS, and inverts. im just switching rockYour rock is done cycling… just put it in the tank with new water. Ghost feed the tank like if you already have fish in it. Test for ammonia in a few days, if none shows up only nitrate, add your livestock.
Ok going to need more info, story is getting deeper lol.problem, My tank is Fully cycled with fish, coral, SPS, and inverts. im just switching rock
