Hey guys!
I have a fully stocked 40 gallon and I’m replacing all the rock so I thought it would be best to cycle some dry Marco rock. I put the rocks in a gray tub with saltwater, heater, a powerhead, and one striped damsel for an ammonia source. It has been soaking since December 8 and I still am getting an ammonia read! I used microbacter and it didn’t work so I went to old reliable and used Dr.Tim’s. I was at 2 ppm and 0 out the next day. When I tested 2 days after, I was back at 1 ppm on ammonia and it’s been staying there. What’s going on?
