I would add more live rock, and monitor. If your tank is cycling properly, your ammonia should be zero.

It's been cycling for 4 weeks now. All 70lbs of my rock was cycling in a 20gallon container. The reading dropped down to those I posted earlier for about almost a week now. I then put all e rocks into my 75g tank n put only about 10g of the old water in the container to a tank full of new water and the reading still stayed the same.

Anyways if I buy the 10-15 corals n 2 Nemo and I keep them in a container with the owners original water sand n live rock will that be ok till my tank is fully cycled and slowly move them like 5 at a time into my main tank?
