Rock.

[Joshifer]

I bought a 3lb cured live rock for a couple bucks. but before I stuck it in my tank I put it in a bucket with old tank water. Dosed it 2PPM clear ammonia. And some prime not to kill whatever's in there so it don't Rot in my tank when I do put it in. I wanna see if by tomorrow or the next day it cycles that ammonia before I put it in my tank.

 

Did I do something wrong? It could stay like that for a week or two even. Lady told me the rocks over a year old it's purple. Don't see any algae but gonna black it out anyway.

 

I'm thinking about putting some dry Texas holey rock in there With it. I know it doesn't offer much filtration because it's dense I just want it to stick coral to.

 

It has a power head to circulate and heat the water. (Cheapy Pond pump makes heat)

My expiriment worked. That little rock processed 2PPM pure ammonia in about 12 hours to 0. And 0 nitrites.
