It's Day 22 of the new 90 gal tank after moving from a 33 gal - tank is still cycling ... 4 ppm nitrites.

Had a challenge with a faulty heater in Day 1 and 2 - live rock ( 120 pounds or so) had die-off as they sat in 63 to 67 degree tub, so tank ended up almost like being a new set-up.

I'm still surprised that it is taking this long since I do have a fair amount of live rock and had some live sand - also, have 33 gallon sump running, from the 33 gal tank set-up, with live rock and live sand.

Will soon write a `lessons learned' essay for the benefit of others.

Tank now at 2 ppm nitrites after 30 days. Starting to sleep better!
