ALOHA EVERYONE BEEN DOING THIS ABOUT A YEAR NOW,,
So i asking for help and advice on how!
I just ordered 10lbs caribsea liferock nano rocks, and want to swap out the old with the new in my exsisting tank,
New rocks are in a separate bucket (5gal)for a month now but ammoina is at 0 now nitrite is at 2.0ish.

What's the question? If it is just moving rocks over, you can just swap them all at once. I am assuming the new rocks were cycled since you have them in a bucket? It may not be a bad idea to add some biospira or fritz cycling bacteria into the tank when the rocks are swapped, but the sand should hold bacteria to handle this if I were to guess.

Nope not moving rocks over, want to replace them with the new, and when? Said it needs to be cycled in a separate bucket and then when parameters looks good, then i can add it and remove some old ones slowly
