Default how long to cycle with uncured live rock?

Have your water tested with another test kit.
If there has been no change for a few weeks then I;d say it's the test
kit that is faulty.
Salifert is a good brand if you need to replace it, but Id just try to
get you LFS to test it for you before you spend $.
Good luck, and stay cool, re-doing a tank because you rushed it and it's
not going the way you wanted will take much much longer than a few more
weeks.
You've been nice an patient up 'till now, so continue to be patient and
you'll go far in the hobby.

I'm trying to be patient, but how long can it take for my nitrites to
get to zero? I put about 120 lbs. of uncured live rock, right out of
the box from Figi, in a new 90 gallon tank. That was 7 weeks ago! My
Nitrites seem stuck in the range of .05 to .15, and I'm afraid to add
more fish. I have 8 green chromis in there, thriving, and huge waves
of all kinds of algae. How long can this go on? Thanks for any
advice.
