Now the ammonia has spiked in my tank and im waiting for the rocks to work their magic by turning the Ammonia to Nitrites, Nitrites to Nitrates and finally Nitrates to Nitrogen. I have removed the fish food and the filter pad it was sitting on and replaced it with some dead rock rubble to cycle into live rock rubble. Obviously this is on a tiny scale as refugiums are supposed to be set up in the sump of a large tank but it should have the same effect. Im hoping as the water passes through the rubble slowly it will aid my biological filtration as well as oxygenation.
