I have just gotten back into my salt tank. My question is about cycling in the new tank. I have been out of this hobby since my Lionfish died 8 yrs ago. I have forgotten some things and am not sure if I should consider a water change or just let nature take it's course. My tank has been set up for three weeks now. With only two weeks of having fish in it. I set the tank up letting it run for one week with only enzymes in it. Then I added 4 green Chromis. The Chromis lasted only a few days then I lost 2 of them. I then waited one week and added 2 Domino Damsels. It has been about a week now and my Ammonia levels are through the roof. But I am not seeing any Nitrites yet. My last 2 Chromis are with thier maker. I am not adding any more fish till this cures up. Am I just being paranoid due to my absence from the hobby or should I be concerned? Any helpful suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
