    OK so, I have been testing water daily looking for some signs of any potential cycle and have come up empty. Rock is about 5-6 years old and has been making the journey through all of my previous tanks. It has been wet the entire time so I'm not expecting much from that. My concern is that I used 100% new water , and about 2# of new carib-sea live sand. 1 week in, still no sign of diatoms or anything. SO, if my tests tomorrow show the same , I may add a few zoa frags this weekend and see how things go. I will continue testing and have things ready just in case I end up with a surprise cycle. I did add 5ml of MB7 on day one and again on day 4 , at an attempt to help with the bacteria population.


    Let me know if you think, I may be jumping the gun here.

    Thanks

    It is a piece of DIY rock that I bought a few #'s of a while back. It is a bit heavy , but looks good once covered in coral. It purples up pretty easy too, this piece was under a bunch of other rock, so it didn't color up like most of the other did.
