I have a 10 gallon nuvo tank, and I did it. I jumped the gun and I put snails and a few singlepolyp frags in about 3 weeks into my cycle. I made the dumbest mistake in reefing
So. I took everything out. Did a 30% water change and let it be. It’s crystal clear, ammonia is high, nitrate high. So my cycle is going. I bought some live rock in hopes that it would help introduce nitrifying bacteria, but I get home and realize it’s got polyps on it!
What do i do!!!! I havnt put it in my tank yet, And i can see myself putting that in and polyps die and then i have a huge ammonia mess. I tried to scrape a few polyps off and they’re stuck on well.
Kill the polyps? Dry out rock? Just throw the rock out??
