Hey reefers! Just looking for some different perspective here. We upgraded from a 16g cube to 75g. There was about 15lbs of life rock in the old tank that was moved over along with new live sand and more life rock. After 3 weeks of ghost feeding I have 0 ammonia. Was that enough rock moving over to combat a new cycle? Thanks all.

Easy enough to check. Dose a little ammonia, maybe 0.5 ppm total ammonia, and see what happens. No guessing or theory discussion :)
