Hey Wayne, thanks for your reply, I have a 90g. I really don't know how much LR I have in my tank lol.. But I'm planning to buy 30 more LBS I want to keep an open minimalistic look and then start adding SPS I don't know what to do with the high nitrate.. do you think it may be because I added last Friday 16lbs of LR? I'm gonna try to do a big water change during the weekend

Well, if you've just added LR, then they were going through their cycle.
Live rock doesn't mean cured rock.
So keep testing and don't add anymore until the first batch is done.
OR, put you fish in another bucket/ tank, keep a power head in there, with your old/cured LR. Then add ALL the new LR in at once. Let them cycle through. Might save you some time in the long run, and save your fishes' lives, too.
Good luck. Lenny.
