cycling a tank
Iam useing live sand,and live rock that has very little corralline algae. I have been doing 20% water changes weekly.How long does it take to spike, or will it ever has long as i do water changes. I always check no3, no2, nh3/nh4, ca2+ just before the water change.They are all okay, and have very little algae bloom.

I think doing a WC dilutes the ammonia so it would prevent or prolong the cycle. Leave the tank alone for a week, then check it.
