Those numbers are not really off the charts, your tank just reacted to the new additions and it needs to stabilize. Reduce feeding to once per day...
My advice to you would be to get your test kits first before any reactors Ca Alk Mg Phos ph and NO4. Test your water for a couple of weeks to make...
As long as you take your time lifting the LR there should only be minor disruption to the sand bed. As far as adding more sand just get a 2 ft legth...
The river rock will have some beneficial bacteria colonizing on the exterior so take out only 25% of the rock you want out each week and add the...
Most tanks even with LR and sand take longer than 2 wks to fully cycle. Even then you should only add one fish per week while you monitor your params...

Looks great so far. I would put eggcrate on the bottom under the rock before you add sand. It will give it stability and less chance of your bottom...
If you haven't already get a frozen shrimp and put it in some mesh stocking hanging in the tank that will get your cycle going. Test your water for...
After with effluent going into the return section.;)
Thats some awesome looking rock great deal.;)
What a life Chinese New Year parties and now Birthday have a great one Steve.;)
PM sent and K+ ;);)
If you started your tank with live rock or live sand that is where they came from. ;)
