Currently cycling the tank with rock from MArco Rocks and Live sand. 2 questions, first off. Ammonia is at 0.25, Nitrite at 0.05 and Nitrate has gone up to the 10-20, 50-100 range, (with being between the low end and the high end. I have not done any water changes or anythig since June 5th when I put the live sand in and I have seen the ammonia and the Nitrite go up and waiting for them to go down completely. Since the have not yet disappreared and the Nitrate has increased. What do I do now? contiue to wait? I thought I was supposed to do a water change when the Nitrate goes up but not sure?
2nd question is that I have taken the heater out completely sinc ethe water temerature has creeped up to 82 degrees. I kow high but is that too high. The hot weather and all. I am wonderig how to cool it down?
