Well the wat i was thinking of doing the cycke is cure the rock first and then give it about two more weeks or so to complete the cycleing. the tank has been up for two weeks and curing the rock for a week now. i checked my water and my ph is 8.2 Alk 3.3 Nit 15 and Nat 20 Amo O its getting there witht he curing. i got my flow correct this time got my power heads hitting the front glass forming a wave affect.
