So Far So Good

[G7EG]

Hi all,

Well so far so good I think.. had the tank running for about 2 weeks now and have been adding live rock as I go along (now pretty much completed I think)

Last night I done my 1st test and I got the following results, I haven't done any water changes yet by the way.

Ammonia - 0.50
Nitrites - 0.1
Nitrates - 20
PH - 8.2

Can anyone tell me please how im going and what I should do next as I will be looking at getting clean up crew and fish soon (i hope)

Greg, just keep your on the stats and wait for the Amonia / Nitrite to hit 0, that's when you can start adding the CC.

Slow and steady!

Can't wait any longer

Should I be doing a water change now?

Nope, only water change when your ammonia and nitrites are 0.

Agree with above.....when nitrites and ammonia hit zero, you can do your first water change. Do 25% to start. I wouldn't add you cleanup crew until you can bring your nitrates down to 10 and under to start. SH
