Hi,
1. Feb 1st - Completed cycling for 30 gallon tank
2. Feb 1st - Purchased clown fish and added to 10 gallon quarantine tank (to monitor for a month)
3. Feb 11th - measured 30 gallon tank; Amonia (0ppm), Nitrate (0ppm), Nitrate (5ppm)
I have about 2.5 weeks left to quarantine clown fish in the 10 gallon QT tank. Should I leave the main tank alone for those 2.5 weeks (aside from topping off), or do I need to introduce ammonia into the tank so that the beneficial bacteria have something to eat and don't starve??
Thanks
