I have not been feeding ammonia while cycling the tank. There is live rock in the tank. There is currently no ammonia in the tank. Nitrate NO2 is at 0. Nitrate NO3 is at 0. I also cycled my dead live rock (quit the hobby for a few years and used the same rock as before...added ammonia during the cure) for about 8 weeks before the 3 week tank cycle. Sand was not "live" when i put it in the tank. Not sure if its live yet. I just added a raw frozen shrimp to the tank. Is this the right move?
