I'm about 10 days into cycling a 29 biocube with live sand and live rock. Ammonia, nitrates and nitrites are WAY high, and there's been a lot of die off. I've done two 50% water changes, and I'm buffering pH, but not much more - only a couple of hours of light a day, and no reef food. Water is at about 78. SG is fine.
Here's what I'm wondering: I can see what I'm pretty sure are corals on the rock. Do I need to be feeding them/giving them more light? I don't want a red algae bloom, but I don't want the corals to die, either.
Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks!
