Hey everyone,
I've had my tank for less than a week now and I'm a bit lost as to what I shoud do next and how soon. My tank is 37 gallons (tall). I just introduced 38.5 lbs of live Haiten rock last evening and just tested my water for the first time tonight. Below are where my levels are at.
Salinity = 1.024
High Range PH = 8.4
Ammonia = .50
Nitrite = 5.0
Nitrate = 10
I guess question is could I introduce a couple damsels at this time. I've read that the tank won't cycle until I introduce live animals to it. Also, the live rock I picked out had polyps all over a couple of pieces. Will these die due to my current levels?
Thanks in advance for the help everyone!
Peace,
Dennis
