So yesterday I did a 20% water change on my 30 gallon. All I have is rock, sand and two clown fish. This is going on my 4th week. When I started the tank I used TurboStart 900, and have monitored my chemistry daily. Ammonia has so far always been 0 as has been Nitrite, with just a tiny nitrate.
Yesterday
Ammonia .50ppm
Nitrite 2.0ppm
Nitrate 5ppm
PH 8
Salinity 1.025
Today 24 hours after my 20% water change:
Ammonia 1ppm
Nitrite 1ppm
Nitrate 20ppm
PH 8
Salinity 1.025
Should I do another water change but bigger? Or should I let it go and see what my chemistry is tomorrow? Could I maybe be in the middle/tail end of a cycle
Any tips/advice are welcome!
