Hey All!
1. I just got my tank last week. I started my cycle and did my first testing two days ago. Everything is on schedule my pH and at 8.0 my ammonia was .25 my nitrites are at 0 but my nitrates are at 10. How should I go about getting my nitrates down? Or is that normal?
2. I put my live rock in along with two damsel fish just to have something in the tank till my cycle s finished. I went to the Rockin' Reef and the man told me to put smart start in my tank to speed up the cycle process. I have not put it in my tank yet because I am not sure if it is safe for the damsels. Any advice will be helpful.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
Thanks
