Won't start to Cycle?

[t_larz]

I have had five damsels in my tank for 19 days with over fifty lbs of live rock. It is a 90 gallon. pH is low but I am working on that. Gravity is at 1.023. The ammonia level won't even start to go up. I have a wet/dry working on it with a power head in the main tank on the live rock. Any suggestions?

Hi:
When I started my 55 Gallon the LFS told me to put in 8 damsels and over-feed them like crazy to make the tank cycle...it worked...took about 8 weeks tho to get everything to zero. I didn't have any live rock at the time, but I was using a wet-dry with the blue plascic balls.
good luck

With that much live rock,you may not see the amonia spike. my 125 spiked one day,then dropped right back down.The whole cycle took less than two weeks. Good luck STEVE
