I can see clearly now...

The 60 lbs of live rock did clear my tank so I can see. I just tested for: Ammonia=less than .5; Nitrate=1 or less; Nitrite=.1 to .25; salinity=1.0235, temp. 79-80. (Salifert test kits)

Question: should I now add a detritivore kit?

ref: 90g with 180 lbs argonite, tide pool 2

thanks, Homer

Not until ammonia and nitrites are undetectable, zero. If these aren't so then the cycle is not complete and you'll only kill the critters by adding them now. JME.
