excellent points.
well, ya know what they say... "life isn't fair". Sorry dude. But from your explanation I understand this wasn't completely random purchase ;) I...
That's the answer to the question. I agree w/SWGuy, if you're going to use this treatment, use a cheap tank (or even a cheap bucket!) for a few...

You added live rock 2 weeks ago to a 6 month old tank? My bet is that is the source of the ammonia. It basically restarted your cycle. You should...
