It's been a week today since I've had the live rock in my tank curing. Today I did the 3rd 10% water change and decided I better change the filters. Holy cow, just after one week I had more dead brown gunk than I ever did not changing the filters for two months or so. I didn't have time to go buy more at the LFS, so I just washed my magnum sleeves out and reusing them.
Before each water change I blow each piece with a power head and what comes off I try to get out when I vacuum the tank, but what stays on I don't mess with just in case if it'll grow back. I think I have some growing already. I'm not positive. Is it possible just after a week? It looks like tubs growing, two of them in holes very close together.
Does freshwater ammonia also work with salt? I'm waiting for my salt water test kit to come in, so just in case I used my freshwater ammonia testing and never has it been more than .25 ppm.
