Ammonia? Also, you said Caribsea live rock, you mean Life rock? Did you not move any of your old rock? If not, may I ask why?

ammonia is 0 and yes life rock. i didnt move anything because the plan was to just have another tank all together and when my other one failed i was in a panic to clean up and just threw it all outside

That’s understandable. Too much good bacteria isn’t really a thing, so I would say if you could pit some existing rock in their as well as the bottled bac that would be a solid move. You can always take the cultured rock back out after it helps seed the new stuff. Might (small chance) help keep the uglies at a minimum too.
