    I am about 3rd week into cycle , 1 chromis , 20lb of live rock ,25 pound dry rock and 3 bags of live sand. I tested ammonia and I have 2.5ppm ,0 nitrites and 0 nitrates. At the 3rd week shouldn't my ammo be high? I was wondering if the 3 bags of live sand I used already cycled my tank? Or just messed up cycle? I am using all salifert kits.
