I threw some serious flake in this morning. And I added 3 pieces of that purple live rock too. Could be die off.
 
Off topic question, where can I edit my picture and profile? I do this on my iPad and I don't see the option anywhere
 
There isn't anything to eat the food so I thought it would obvious that it would spike, or am I incorrect?
 
Yep, Flake, that's why we are waiting til next week to even consider fish. lol

I figure the lr is doing the ammonia and since I have more nitrates now than I did earlier i can tell some of the cycle is working, just not up to par yet I suppose. It's only 15lbs of LR.
 
Incorrect. If nothing eats it there should still be enough bacteria to take care of it.

If it spikes that easily, it's not cycled.

A cycled tank should take that ammonia and make it trites and then go to trates. The aqmmonia source is the flake food instead of fish waste. if i had put fish in the same thing would have happened
 
Ohhhh I get it now :) thank you. I was mistaken in the cycle
 
I've got the bacteria it's just not up to snuff I don't think. Would you agree flake? My strong suit def isnt cycling. lol I've only really done it once and that only took a week.
 
I just found a really really cool hot pink psedochromis. Only grows to 3 inches. I'm thinking putting it in the 55g. I think I'm gonna be overstocked in the cube
