so I had my 30 gallon reef tank cycled. My parameters were
0 ammonia
0 nitrite
5 nitrate
ph 8
Alk 9 dkh
calcium 400
mag 1470
Phosphates 0
I had 4 clown fish for a while with those readings, I added 4 frags and obtained aptasia in one of my live rocks, so I decided to remove the live rock after failed attempted to get rid of it. A couple days later I am Getting the following readings with Red Sea test kit
Ammonia .4
Nitrite .2
Nitrate 10
Ph 8
Alk 7 dkh
Cal 420
Mag 1470
Phosphates 0
1. Could my tank me going through a mini cycle because I removed one of the live rocks?
2.is it okay I do a 20% water change or would it just go through the same thing again later?
