new start up 75 gal live rock from j&l
There has been no change in the ammonia level (.1-.3) Nitrite at .1 since Sat. when live rock was added. Have hitchhiker hermit crab & few featherdusters. Do you think we will stell get a cycle? Is it done? Temp 76-sg 1.025 pH 8.2. Any thoughts?

In all liklihood, you'll still have a bit of a cycle.

When ammonia and nitrites are ZERO cycling is done... then add livestock. Slowly. Allow time between livestock additions to allow biological filtration to catch up to biological load. Do water changes and don't allow either levels to read anything but zero and you'll be fine. PATIENCE
