65gal DT, 20gal sump.

Been cycling for a few weeks with ammonia and Dr. Tim's One and only.

Last 3 times I added ammonia, I added enough to get the tank to 4ppm, and every time 48hrs later ammonia and nitrites were back at 0. Last time nitrites were at 0, nitrate test showed 50ppm.

Is it safe to do a large water change and add 2 clownfish?

Thanks!!

Thanks for the replies! Picked up "Michael Bolton" (little guy was being an "a**" to the other one at first) and "Joana" this weekend and things are going well! Ammonia and Nitrites staying at 0.
