Re: dustins first tank. 120 gallon(lots of pics)
I would do 10-15% daily until they are readable. I would start a new thread in the newbie section just to double check as Im not experienced at all.

Re: dustins first tank. 120 gallon(lots of pics)
10% daily is fine, especially since you don't have any animals in your tank yet.

Re: dustins first tank. 120 gallon(lots of pics)
UPDATE: ok so i have done two 10% water changes and i am about to do another one, and in the time i have done those two water changes the rites in my tank have dropped from unreadable to 2mg/l. so im expecting they will drop to 0 in the next two days hopefully
