Cycling

[0pti0n]

So my 90 gallon has been cycling for a week with about 70lbs of live rock from an established aquarium, as well as about 5 lbs of aragonit from a different established tank to mix in with my 60lbs or aragonite. Current readings are the following

NH3 = 0.1
NO2 = 0.1
NO3 = <5
PO4 = 0.25
PH = 8.3

Biggest question is I thought I would see some sort of a spike as its a new setup with a 20 gallon sump. My SS 220 has been skimming and pulling some pretty icky stuff out and Im developing a bunch of brown algae on the sand and the glass now.

Should I expect a spike, or does it seem to be ready to go?
