Water Stats After A Week..

[psycho-killer]

my tank has been running for a week water stats as follows,

ph 8.5
ammonia 0.4
nitrite more than 5
nitrate 100


ruuning 2x power heads and 10Kg of live rock,

getting a external filter tommorow wih live rock rubble and carbon as media

this stats ok for a week old?

should i let it run till nitrites fall? or do water change now?

thanks guys

also busy fixing my skimmer to run on there as well.

ur tanks cycling dont, do water changes until ur amonia and nitrite levels drop to zero
