I cycled the rock for 3 months with store bought . Ammonia made it to 4 dropped and nitrites went up then my nitrates went up to 15 changed out all the water . Nitrates made it to 5 changed water the last time . Left alone for a week then put the rock in my tank . Put in a dottle of dr. Tims and a bottle of biospera . And through some fish in.
