Why is the live rock in the sump and not in the display tank? What do you have in the tank for decoration? Sand? Did you wash the sand? What is this 3-day cycle? Sounds like a gimmick product. Do you mean the skimmer water is brownish green...or the water in the sump? The sump water should be the same color as the display tank since it is all running together.

It was a bit of a mistake to add the rock from the existing tank to this tank before the tank cycles. The ammonia from the new rock will kill a bunch of the life on the old cured rock you already had. The pod population and many worms and small critters like that will likely perish. In the future, the new rock should be cured (cycled) before adding the old cured rock. Last edited by Myka; 04-20-2011 at 06:46 PM. |

Hmm...well something caused a large cycle. Maybe the live rock was out of water too long, and there is die-off. Maybe the 3-day cycle did it! I don't know what is in that 3-day cycle, but maybe it does have ammonia to kick start the cycle who knows. Either way, you have a major cycle going on, and it will take several weeks for it to finish. Just keep testing ammonia.
If you have another tank to put the fish in then, that would be wise. They would definitely appreciate that as ammonia burn on their gills is irreparable. |
