Cured at last!

My 22 LBS of LR is finally cured, They have been curing for almost 2 months.
My only concern is that the Nitrate is like at 80 ppm, But I'm dumping that water out and putting in the LR only, Would this be fine?

 

I would put in at least 50% of the cycling water. Part of the cycle process is to mature the water. You don't want to shock the bacteria in your rock by adding all brand new water with different chemistry than what it's used to.

 

I was just asking if it was fine to put it in my DT now?

 

So you are adding cured LR to an established tank (with critters, fish, corals)?

 

Yes I'm adding it to a Reef Tank, They have been curing in a separate tank for almost 2 months (Because it had a spike). Now that its fully cured I'm going to add it to my DT tomorrow, But the Nitrate is 80 ppm. Does this matter because I'm just adding the LR and dumping out the water it was curing in?

 

Bump

 

I would add it slowly, maybe one rock every couple days or so. you really should'nt have a spike, but why chance it.
