Hey Doug,
I should have two and two together from your other post.
OK, heres the deal. Since you are cycling with 3 damsels in a 55g tank, your cycle is going to be very weak as you are only setting up a bio mass for the bio load. In other words, you are cycling the tank to house 3 damsels. Being that you are only 2.5 weeks into it, the tank should be peaking out in amonia about now or very soon. If you are not attached to the damsels, you might want to see if the LFS will take them back so you can do a larger cycle. I would completely cycle the tank before adding any LR and especially fish. If you can take the damsels back, use Monty's method of fishless cycling to continue the cycle.
