Yes I used cured live rock and live sand. I have about 50lb. of the live
rock snd about 5lb. of live sand.


Then this is normal and the "cycle" will not be visible.

I just tested the water today and have 0.0 for nitrite and nitrate and
0.25 for ammonia


Check the test for the ammonia reading. Compare the color
when freshly made sal****er is tested with no ammonia...
Many tests have this color example card misleading and
it is easy to read low ammonia when there is none.
Ammonia reading 0 in a fish tank running over 30 days
with live rock. live sand and live fish is something abnormal.
