Live rock cooking help
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
		I have some rock that I have been cooking in a tub for 8 weeks now.  Every week the nitrate is 15 when I test before the w/c.  There is nothing coming off of or out of the rocks as far as detrius.   
 
Should I just keep going?  Will this eventually stop?  Is it possible that the bacteria in the rock that deals with nitrate is gone?  Would I be better off not doing the w/c to let the bacteria that feed off nitrate rebuild if that is the case?
