Sorry, I forgot to reply to this part. The only chemical added was IO"S Marine Conditioner which I added to both the make up water (to replace water lost due to evaporation) and the salt water used for the weekly water changes. Could that be a problem?

Thanks for the reply. I think that the tank did cycle. Tests at the end of one week did show levels of both ammonia and at the end of two weeks both ammonia and nitrite (no nitrate). The test values were also confirmed at a local fish store. The only value that varied from mine was the SG...

Rank amateur looking for help. I started up a 50 gallon using ~70# of dry (dead) rock. Purchased one live rock from local fish store and added it along with a shrimp to the tank. I let the tank cycle for 6 weeks. At that time the ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels were all 0. pH = 8.3, SG...
