Well he clearly states in his first sentence, live rock and live sand. The problem here is how live is it, or at all.Help cycling tank
Hello I have a 13.5 gal saltwater tank with Live rock and live sand I used 2 oz of dr Tim’s one and only and I put 4 drops per gal 54 drops of dr Tim’s ammonium chloride my ammonia is reading 8.0 ppm and my nitrite is reading 0.5 I think I might have messed up by adding 4 drops per gal of tank...www.reef2reef.com
we don’t know if he’s got live or dry rocks, tbd.
relation to our thread here: 100% of the advisors in the thread do not adhere to updated cycling rules or they’d ask if this was actually live rock, from point #3 in post #49
recall that old cycle rules applies raw ammonia to everything. They accept all testing as valid, depending on the post title.
live rocks and dry rocks and totally uncured ocean rocks are given no distinction, they add ammonia and bottle bac to all of them
because that’s what the sellers have trained us to do, not their fault. Bottle bac was falsely sold there, if indeed it’s skip cycle live rock.

constant doubt in forums plays an important role. Snake oil filters. lets see if we can convince them patiently using work examples.
