Its around 22" I believe. Vertex are notoriously famous for having a large footprint. And got it for a KILLER deal!

i think it may be a good idea to change your water, from the pictures i dont see any ammonia. and high nitrates are indicative that all the ammonia was converted to nitrites and all the nitrites were converted to nitrates

how long has the rock been in ?

About a week. The rocks are from a 4 year old established tank but there were some sponges and stuffs on the rock. Kept it in a rubbermaid can with heater and power head.

After posting, I cleaned the whole bucket and poured in fresh water.
