1st water change, should i wait or am i ready now? I set up my tank on the 10th of November (10 days and counting - i'm dying waiting to get fish, haha), 48G deep show, 50LBs live rock - 15 of which from an established tank, 50LBs Crushed coral 1/2 and 1/2, here are my readings:
Amonia: 0
Nitrite: .5
Nitrate: 40
Hardness: 300
Alkalinity: 300
PH: 8.4
Salinity: 39
SG: 1.029
My questions are....
1) has my Nitrate's peaked or are they still in the proces of going up?
2) Am I ready for a water change tomarrow night or do I wait till I get back from thanksgiving on sunday? How much do you change on your 1st one and what is the process, i.e. do I have to leave the water sit out for a day or days???
3) Would 1 24" reef light from ***** be strong enough for few simple corals??? They were only like 20bucks and the box seems to suggest that is what it is for???
