TEST RESULTS

[viruzjk]

I HAVE HAD MY LIVE ROCK AND SAND IN MY TANK FOR ABOUT 2 DAYS NOW I TESTED THE WATER HERE ARE THE RESULTS... HOW MUCH OF A WATER CHANGE IF ANY WOULD YOU RECOMMEND??

TEMP - 76
SALINITY - 1.027
PH - 8.4
NITRITE - 1.0
AMMONIA - .50
NITRATE - 20

None. You don't want to change any water until the cycle is finished. At that point I'd remove 40-50% and then after that switch to weekly changes of about 10%

SO JUST WAIT TILL THE NITRITE AMMONIA AND NITRATE LEVEL OUT THEN DO THE WATER CHANGES? GOTCHA THANKS FOR THE ADVICE..

Yes, wait untill your Ammonia and NitrITE are zero, and your nitrATES are about 10ppm, and stay that way for around a week to ensure they all stay constant...

And get a heater...76 is just slightly too cold.
