Aquarium Advice Freak
I received my shipment of LR from Premium Aquatics last Friday and added it to my new nanocube. I got 20 lbs of Marshall/Fiji rock and 5 lbs of LR rubble. I think the 20 lbs is a little too much for this tank since there is very little room left for fish and corals, but I will deal with that later. By the way, the rock looks terrific!
My question is, Premium Aquatics claims their rock is cured. Also, I seeded two sponges in my 72G for a few days prior to receiving this rock. After the rock has been in there for 4 days, I have seen no signs of ammonia. Is it possible that I have enough bacteria in there between the rock and the seeded sponges that I won't really have a cycle and can add a fish soon? My parameters are:
pH - 8.1
Amm - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate < 5ppm
Salinity - 1.023
Please let me know what you think. Thanks!!!
