Hello I've been cycling a QT tank for about 2.5 weeks now with just a power filter, and the ammonia is about 5ppm, no signs of nitrites, or nitrates yet. I put a cocktail shrimp in there to add the ammonia. Anyway I set up my main tank yesterday and have a bunch of life rock rubble that I don't want to use in the main tank. Would adding this to the QT tank speed up the cycling by adding bacteria? Or would the die-off create too much extra ammonia and actually slow it down? So to add the live rock or not, that is the question?
