 Re: tank 1 month old
Hmmmm. Sounds like your cycle may have stalled for some reason. You should have seen some nitrates after the nitrite started dropping if the rock wasn't fully cured. I started cycling with dead base rock and live sand also, but 2 days after after I added my uncured LR I saw a huge nitrate spike. Within a few days it was back down and my rock was bubbling like crazy and still is a week later. If there's no bubbles I'd play it safe and wait for a couple more weeks and keep taking readings. How old is your nitrate test kit?
