Hi guys!
Well, after a few days of cycling my Nanocube I saw nothing for ammonia/trites/trates for a couple of days. I expected this as the rock was very well cured and I didn't expect any die-off to start my cycle. So, I put in a jumbo raw shrimp from the grocery store for 24 hours. The ammonia spiked, but it has been days and it isn't going anywhere.
Is it possible that my rock has lots its beneficial bacteria while curing? If so, is there a way to replace that? Am I just being impatient? Past tank cycles of mine didn't go through as much of a spike, so I don't know what to expect. Thanks for any help guys
