yes or they'd be floating up top littering the tank.
all you do is this:
do some water changes over the ten day period the instructions with the rock said, pick a decent degree of work as % water changed, run it every three days for ten days, cease ammonia testing now, then at the end either move rocks into your display and begin reefing or simply do one last large water change and begin reefing.
cease testing for ammonia at this point, you can't use those kits to know anything. I have example links of 5 year old reefs reporting those levels (those kits can misread), the plain advise is stop testing for ammonia right now and do the above steps and your tank will carry life, as it's currently doing.
you have just been given a testless cycling timing-based close date and it works, cease ammonia testing, don't doubt the order of steps listed just run 'em
add you reef life on day ten after the changes. you pick the % you're willing to change, it all has the same outcome either way, no need to detail the matter further it's fully covered above in steps and # of days. this will help you begin reefing on a known start date vs worry about it further. by ten days it's all done just fine, as the directions said and you can stop testing now. just do some simple guiding water changes, no need to add feed to the system or bottle bac or any additive or concern at all about bacteria. run the steps for the win
