where did you get the rock from? if it is indeed "dead" you'll need to do something to start the cycle. Adding some uncured or partially cured rock will help, or you could add 500ml of Hagen "Cycle" to get things started. Even then, you're still looking at a week or two just to be safe. Check the readings every day. You'll see an ammonia spike and then things will start to recede to normal levels. When that happens, you'll be able to slowly start adding things to your tank

I've got so much glue on my pants it looks like a Friday night gone horribly wrong.
