I just started a new tank and am using Zeovit products in it. I threw 100 lb of cured live rock in an 80 gal total system, followed the guidelines for dosing Zeovit in ?new live rock only? tanks and started watching the nitrogen cycle. It?s been gong a week so far and the ammonia, nitrite and nitrate are still all reading 0.
The problem is I don't fully understand how Zeovit effects tank parameters so have no idea how to proceed. Because my life rock was cured and was out of water only about 8 hours is there insufficient die-off to make the tank cycle? Or, is my tank cycling and the Zeovit is keeping levels undetectable? Or, am I just being impatient and need to wait a little longer before I'll see any Ammonia?
Should I keep waiting, create an ammonia source (throw in some seafood to decay or move some damsels into the tank), start adding invertebrates...
