Hey everyone,
I recently started up my first tank. I cycled it with Red Sea Reef Mature. I started the cycle on August 10th. By September first Nitrite has spiked and retuned to 0. Over the last few days I’ve noticed another spike in nitrite. See the attached photos. Currently I have 2 clowns, 2 blood red fire shrimp, 3 emerald crabs, and 5 trochus snails and a single hammer coral which is looking very happy.
My system is a 75g display with a trigger 34 sump. I have a Red Sea skimmer, and prime fudge light in my refugium. I’ve done 2 20% water changes but nitrite is still about .3ppm
I am starting to see a small(barely noticeable) diatom bloom as well which I know is totally normal.
The screen shots are the tanks parameters, any advice would be great.
