After two days of curing the LR, and while doing water tests in my main tank this morning, I decided to test the water in the curing tank, since I never really did this when I set up my 60g.

So, anyway, the PH was 7.8 and the Ammonia was off the chart, at least 8ppm+. Oh, and did it stink! So I went and did a full water change. It really took a while as I am using my 60g hex tank as a curing tank. I've got the rock sitting in 20g of water and there is no drain. I'm actually eager to track the curing progress as I didn't have to do this when I first got started.
