i have recently set up a 100 gallon tank with sump. In the process of setting up this tank i used approx 45-50 lbs of live rock from an established tank. I have crushed coral from the same tank in some sacks in the sump i have had this running for a week or so and i have yet to see ammonia spike or nitrites and even my nitrates are at zero. My other experiment all though i dont like using live animals to cycle i have thrown a few yellow tail damsels and a 5" velvet damsel in there and still no spike in any levels. All fish are eating, no heavy breathing. How come im not seeing these spikes in levels or even nitrates for that matter please respond asap i have a person that wants my old 55 gal tank but i dont want to transfer live stock until i know its cycled enough thanks
