ok guys here is my situation.. i've had my FO
20 gal tank (Salt) for over 1 month... the tests are all good every week. when should i do my first water change? i get brown algae on sand and glass but i mix the sand and clean the glass quickly, should i let the algae grow a lot since it might be part of the cycle? when should i expect nitrates and ammonia to go up.. i have 3 small damsels. i wontget corals or inverts until i get a skimmer and better lighting. is it logical for the tests to come out normal for the first month of the cycle with the fish in the tank?
