Picked up a very small amount of live rock and some chaeto. I'm going to let patience do the rest I guess. Skimmer continues to pull some fairly funky water out of the system.

I'm trying my best to not run the lights but already I'm sitting in front of the tank dreaming lol...

How much does the waiting time suck?

How long you leaving the lights off for?

Haha. I meant my thread about whether I should feed the pods in my fuge at this point but thanks for the input lol...

But to answer your questions it a) sucks hard and b) lights off for a month I'm guessing but we'll see what the test kits tell me. Ammonia is STILL under 0.25 so maybe this rock wasn't that grungy?
