Water change?

[Yesevil123]

So honestly the last time i tested my tanks parameters was on 2/24th of this year. This is what i have as of yesterday. I know i need to water change, but is there anything else i should do?

*55 gallon All in one reef tank
Clownfish, hermits, snails, fether dusters, flame scallop, linka sea star, 2 shrimps

No need to test nitrite or ammonia after the tank is cycled. You should only be testing calcium, alkalinity, mag… those are the major 3 and then nitrates and phosphates if you have corals. Water changes are always welcome and normally fix a tank if something is off… it’s also a great way of removing dissolved organic compounds and replenishing trace elements.

My tank has been up and running since january. I tested it often for about a month and a half and them didnt test it until the other day. Would those be considered normal parameters for a tank of that that age? Its a small bioload. But i have an order lf inverts comin in by the end of the week so id like to make my adjustments asap

I would do water changes to bring the nitrates down to about 10-20 before the inverts arrive, inverts are more sensitive to water quality than fish.

Which would make sense on why theyre the only ones that are dyingg off, but very slowly. Everything else is doing great.
