I purchased 3 pieces of live rock from someone, the rock has been sitting in his sump for a couple of years.
The rock had some brittle stars, possibly other hitchhikers on it.
I placed it in a tub of freshly mixed saltwater with a heater and powerhead last night, and added somme bottled ammonia to bring it up to 2ppm ammonia.
Today I tested and ammonia is still at 2 ppm, no nitrites, it's been around 12 hours.
Should I be seeing nitrites at this point, or is this normal?
