Question :) I didn't get enough rocks on my initial order when I set my tank up around 9 months ago :headwally:, so I ordered some new dry rock (70lbs Tonga, Pukani, Shelfs) from BRS:celeb1:. I have had them in a Brut can for 5 weeks now with two power heads and a 300W heater set to 82 Deg F. I do water changes on my tank every two weeks and to save water have been changing out the Brut can water with my tank change water :) anywho the first week by Phosphates in the Brut Can were at 2 and 5 weeks later I'm at .5 :beer: . Should I wait till I get a zero reading? I want to make sure to get this right as I just got finished a couple of months ago fighting a Cyno issue and do not want to wake the beast back up :) Is there anything else I should be doing or testing during the rock cook? Thanks in advance for your responses.

Lanthanum chloride dripping is supposed to speed things up a lot. There are some threads on it in the reef chemistry section. Pukani can take a long time
