I'm "cooking" some freshly bleached rocks in a food grade bucket. I added Dr. Tim's ammonia, microbacter, a heater set to 80, and a powerhead. Testing with a Red Sea kit.
After 3 weeks I'm seeing no drop in ammonia. I feel like by 3 weeks I usually see SOME nitrate forming. Think anything is wrong?
NOTE: I did see a heterotrophic bacteria bloom after about 1.5 weeks so the water isn’t toxic
