Ok, after 4 days of curing my new live rock, I checked my ammonia level. What would you guess my level would be with 100 pounds of uncured rock in the tank? Off the chart? High, but not toxic? Low? How about zero?
I am having a hard time believing that there is no ammonia in the tank. I tested it with two different brands of test kits (to include the new Elos kit). There is no trace detectable with either kit. I don't understand this. Any ideas why I am not showing any ammonia with rock that I basically just threw in the tank right out of the box (after just a little swishing in fresh salt water)? I am puzzled.
