Personally, I think nanos should start with only live rock. Helps things move faster and also doesn't make much difference economically. After all, its just a small volume of rock

I would guess that there is the culprit, maybe still some die off from the rock. Your going to have to do daily water changes of at least 25% until thing stabilize for sure. If you have another salt tank going you could exchange a few pieces to help stabilize.

BTW since you are getting big numbers on nitrate, I am sure that your rock is pretty live now :P

Get started with the water change. MOVE MOVE!
