Live Rock

[mburrou1]

Just put live rock in my week old cycling tank. Levels are Ph 8.0, Ammonia, .0502 Nitrite .15, Nitrate 10. The corals on the rock are turning white. Is this just because they are dying due to the levels? Is there anything I can do about this or is it just part of the process? Thanks

They will die off because you have not finished cycling the tank and this helps the cycling go faster. Wait about a month and a half before you put fish in. If you bought those corals that was not smart.
