360 gallon fish only tank, one month old
added 50% bioballs from established reef tank to aid/accelerate cycling
also have denitrifier which is rowing steadily(biomass that is)
levels had been low until yesterday
Now ammonia still low-.3 mg/l
ph 8.1
nitrate though is at 20ppm
nitrite at "stress" level 3 ppm
Question is, do I do a partial water change or allow the cycle to proceed. Fish are OK so far. I treated for copper safe for a few spots, nothing major. A cinnimon clown as a small amt of lymphocystis(actually looks better today)- One fish has a cloudy eye but stable for a week
Thoughts are appreciated
