get it up before it cycles. Ph buffer should do the job, but Idk, I've never had issues with my Ph
your lfs should have mysis and phyto. Mysis has to be kept frozen (I think, the type I feed my clown is), but the phyto I have came in a bottle, and can be room temp

just wait, if they arent going anywere in a week or so, maybe do a water change. but only if one of your levels is way way high. Yeah, I'd get the buffer though.
Do you have cured lr? It may help the cycle speed along if you do. Also, the more lr, the better, you should try and get 20 to 25 more lbs. It helps wih the bioload.

you can tell if the lr is cured if it came from an establish tank. the lr they sell in your lfs is a tank filled with lots of lr. so its not

cured lr usually has coraline on it already too.
and hitchikers :D oh yeah!
try and get cured lr for the rest of your lr. It will make the rock you have in there come to life faster, and it will help establish all your bugs and critters that are all part of it

well your lfs may not sell you cured lr. they are sometimes mean. just ask your friends if they will sell you a little. and remember to get chemipure elite. it will help your tank alot. just post pics.
