All of the rock was cured, but the first batch definitely had some die-off between the time I bought it and added it to the tank (I added the rock in 2 batches, but it was all in for a few weeks before I added the fish). |
in your 80g its still too many fish too soon everytime you add a fish your system has to adjust to the bio load of each fish if you add a bunch of fish at once your system gets overloaded and the good bacteria will have a hard time catching up which is where youll see a rise in nitrates and possible bad algae like diatoms and the dreaded cyano. for fish youll end up with ich or even worse marine velvet which is super hard to completely remove
