It could be, yep -- which is why you should test your freshly made up water

This is the thing; with a normal cycle 6-8 weeks your rocks , specialy dry rock will leach its things in the water and you'll get rid of it through water changes. But in my case i used a bio product to jumpstart the tanks with 24 h i could put live stuff in it. The rocks although full of bacterias haven't leach their loads of chemicals yet and i'm stuck with it now with live things in the tanks...... that could be it. Yep i did it be cause my seeding fuge was dying and the stuff in it too and i was affraid for the chromis too they ahd already did their quarantine and well i had waited since june for this ... i thought i was getting ahaed, maybe not. Hopefully it won't kill anything yet. Thanks guys.
