The beneficial bacteria feeds off NH3 and n02.
You wont kill your rock its the dead stuff on your rocks that is spiking your NH3. It will soon turn NH3 and N02 into N03. Just give it time and your tank with cycle do water changes and soon enough the bacteria will colonize again. Cycling can take time but it will happen Last edited by WarDog; 11-25-2016 at 12:56 AM.

I do understand its ammonia and nitrites that feed the bacteria, its just the large quantities of ammonia im concerned with. Also, after 2 weeks of sitting in the bins, i thought i would see more nitrites than i am... my test is reading 0. it just all seems off.
im not worried about it taking a long time, my tank isn't even ready to be picked up yet. I just want to be sure I haven't destroyed 100 lbs of previously cured liverock.
