ya see im not sure what to expect for this tank.. i had 50 pounds of base rock added around 6/21/08 i think then the 50 pounds of live rock that came in from swf.com (so it should have to recure a little) on 6/26/08 then i added the other 85 pounds or so that i had in my 72 gallon so that should be cured rock on july 1st i think
also i added 40 pounds of non live sand and 20 pounds of live sand..
so am i going to have a cycle? thats 50 out of 185 pounds of live rock that was shipped, and 20 out of 60 pounds of "live sand" (just that bagged stuff) added to the tank.
tanks params as of today
sal-1.024
ph-8.3

Your tank should cycle with what you have in there. If your ammonia is already at .25 then it is probably just starting. Keep checking your levels once or twice a week
ya my mom wants me to check them once a day till the cycle is over lol..
