I am on day 6 of the Red Sea Mature Pro kit program and my ammonia is reading 0.2ppm, nitrite is reading 1ppm, and nitrate is reading 50ppm. The nitrite and nitrate levels seem pretty high. I just put in a few small pieces of live rock from my lfs a few days ago to try to help with the bacterial population. Does anyone know if this seems normal/ok?
Tomorrow is my first scheduled water change which should help with those levels.
So we had just moved recently so my evo is just restarting. I decided to go with upgraded everything on this build. It has a smart ATO,2x seneye( 1 in tank,1 in filter area),AI HD,Digital titanium 100W heater,Ecotech mp10.I have the AI on the goose neck about 12in above the water. It is more then enough light so I don't have it on full for long at all. Infact my Maxima clam has decided it is more light then it wanted and moved to a shady spot which I never knew they would do. With the hood gone you get much better air flow helping to keep PH stable. However as a side note I did have to use a piece of grate to put on top since my cat loves to go fishing :/ The INTank I decided on the first chamber because it also come with the piece to block the flow coming in. I used these on my bio cube 29 also and love them. Second chamber is bigger so it is better for a refugium area or skimmer. Right now my second chamber has bio media but if I do go with a skimmer I will be putting it there.
I only have one damsel now. I will probably add a small Ocellaris clown and maybe one more - and do this over a period of a few weeks so that I can continue monitoring water parameters. There are plenty of hiding spots in the rock and I do have a protein skimmer rated for a 60 to 90 gallon tank. I also do weekly water changes.
Anyone have a suggestion on the possible third fish?
