I have moved over to here from the Introduction forum to insure I am in a proper forum.
I am cycling my first Saltwater tank and I have some purchased live rock, the question I have is that the peices I recived were uncured from the store I got them out of the curing bin. I spent some time picking out what I thought were nice specimens with from what I could tell seemed to be lots of growths on it. Will the ammonia (2-4ppm right now) and following nitrite levels (0.50ppm ATM but expecting much higher before things are through.)destroy any life there might have been on the rock? Also as can be seen in my pic in the "Tanks" gallery I have alot of coral skeletons what can I do to better "Seed" this inorder to count it in my "biofilter". Thanks again for all the help everyone has given me so far.
