My 75g tank (plus 25-30g in sump) cycled for 60 days. It was ready after 30 days, but I was in no hurry and my Clowns were going through quarantine anyhow. During the cycle, I kept dosing ammonia up to 2ppm and letting it clear out. The tank can now process 2ppm ammonia easily in 24hrs... but my nitrates were through the roof but finally settled around 50ppm.
Today, I did my big water change, 50 gallons...the most i could feasible handle at one time! Now, my nitrates are reading 25ppm with a Salifert test kit. Is it safe to transfer my Clowns and a couple snails now?
