Hi everyone

I move all my Live sand and Live rocks from a 45 gallon to a 150 gallon tank.

I use back the water from my 45 gallon into the 150 gallon and added some new water. I also added 50 pounds of additional (uncured) live rock into the tank. Hoping it will help it cycle faster.

Now I'm getting a Ammonia , Nitrite and Nitrate all at once at extreme high level.

Should I change water or just leave everything alone until everything settle and then change water.

There is fish or inverts in the tank except LR and LS.

thanks

i agree with manyfish just leave it and let it take its course.uncured rock will do all that but the old rock will speed things along. huh there fish in the the new tank? if thats what i read then your going to have to remove them as they will surely die if you dont act fast.

Hi thanks for the reply

Sorry as I didn't proof read. No there is no fish, the fishes are in a 30 gallon tank with cycle water.

Ok I'll leave the tank as is.

thanks
