So I added water and live sand 7-14 , waited a few days 7-17 and got Turbo Start and 2 Clowns. I've been testing everyday since I've added them and the Turbo Start -
Day 2- Ammonia 15 - No2 0 - No3 5
Day 3- Ammonia 0 - No2 .25 - No3 5
Day 4 - Ammonia 0 - No2 .50 - No3 5
Day 5- Ammonia 0 - No2 .50 - No3 5
Day 6- Ammonia 0 - No2 .50 - No3 10
Day 7- Ammonia 0 - No2 .50 - No3 5
Day 8- Ammonia 0 - No2 .50 - No3 5
I'm using Salifert for Ammonia and Nitrates and using an API test for Nitrites. ( I have a Red Sea test kit in the mail on the way) Is my end goal here still to get to 0 No2 ? This is a Waterbox 100.3 system.
Also should I be cleaning my filter socks out ? I have some redish brown algae starting to grow on the glass at the sand bed and on some of the dry rock and a few spots on the sand. Should I vacuum it out and let or let it ride? Should I turn on my protein skimmer now ?
