So I bought the 65 gallon tank Friday. It was established 6 years, but badly abused (If you read the thread you know). I set it up with new sand, new bio balls, and I couldn't save any of that putrid water. I finally have my salinity in line, no nitrate, nitrites, Ph is perfect, but here is the problem NO AMMONIA. Shouldn't the mature rock be essentially starting a cycle as though the tank was being set up for the first time? Or will this not happen because the rock is obviously cured and has been submerged for 6 years, I transported all of the rock fully submerged in SW.
I don't want to put my livestock in the tank and then it starts cycling and kills off everything. Does anyone know what's going on?
