hey recently got some Tampa bay live rock , overnighted to me ground about 20 hours in transit to my house. its been about 2 to 3 weeks , with die off , cycling .I been gettin cyano and GHA , i dont have a test kit to test for nitrite right now . Is it possible to get cyano and GHA growth with nitrite being present ?
 
That's very possible. Without knowing all your water parameters it can be very hard to diagnose anything. But it's very typical to have those issues in a new tank. I suggest getting all your water parameters tested. If you don't have the kits to do it yourself check with your local fish store, they usually offer those services.
 
yes i have thought about bringing it to LFS, unfortunately NYC is the worst being hit right now... may have to just buy it for a one time use . sigh..
 
Well the good news is you don't have any inhabitants, right? so you can just let it ride for the time being. I would just do water changes for now until you can get your water tested. :)
 
nop, i dont beside critters from live rock , just ordered a nitirite nitrate kit :) brs
