So I bought about 30 lbs of LR from Pet kingdom last week and wanted to cycle it before putting it into my established 180. When I got home I realized I've never cycled LR that I didn't intially put in when starting a tank. My question is how do you know your LR is threw cycling and ready to go into the tank? I've had it in a 50 gallon trash can with a PH to keep the water from becoming static for over a week now. Am I supposed to do water changes or anything like that?

Definitely change water,test for the basics (amm, trites) use your nose. Water & rock should smell fresh. You will have die off that will produce the rotten egg smell.
