Good morning,
I started a new tank 25 days ago. I used dry rock from LFS, a few wet rocks from my other tank and live sand. I used MB7 daily for 2 weeks. After one week of cycling I added my 2 clown fish from my other tank that I’ve had since February. I also added my Tailspot Blenny a few days later. I’ve been feeding every other day and never noticed an ammonia spike. The fish have been doing well from what I can, I check daily multiple times a day. I added my corals 1 week ago (Acans, torch, small Monti frag, Duncan, Xenia, small zoa frags.) all are small. They are all doing well except the Monti, which I’m watching…. Today I have no Ammonia and I checked nitrates and those are 2-2.5, using the salifert test. My question is should I do a water change? I’m inclined to not do that since everything is doing so well! I watched Jake Adam’s and was inspired lol, so I’m thinking not to do a water change and just continue top offs, and change my filter floss. Also in the last few days I’ve noticed bubbles sitting on top of the water, is that just the way my power head is placed. I’ve added picture for reference. I have a waterbox 25 penninsula. Thank you!
