Hi all! Super excited on this new journey but I’ve already made a few mistakes and I think I messed up.
Started my fish in cycle exactly a week ago with caribsea live rock, live sand, 2 clownfish and nutri seawater. I used Dr Tim’s one and only at the start but I’ve been running my filter the entire time. My filters jam packed with matrix and chemi pure blue. I didn’t realize I was supposed to leave out all the filter media. My ammonia, nitrites and nitrates have all consistently been zero. Do I need to start the process all over again with the return pump off and take the filter media out? Maybe just run the wave maker?
Please help
