How often should I change my media bags? I have carbon and bmo

Higher nitrite and nitrate. I read this signals the halfway point of the cycle. I'll do a small water change. This won't prolong the cycle will it?

Tanks been filled up for a little over a week. Chromis doing fine water clear. Nitrites and nitrates look a little high. Do I do a partial water change or is this normal in new tanks?

Yeah I do. Using bio spira and adding a chromis

Will fish be ok if water is still clearing?

Will fish be ok if water is still clearing?

Ok. Was adding my media bags and I stirred up the water again. Will the fish be ok in the cloudy water while it settles??

Just running a carbon media bag. Power head is on too

Ok it's on. Just running a small carbon media bag right now. Waiting for dust to settle then ill add bio spira. Should I keep my power head on?

Is it ok that my tank is totally off? No heat or anything

Or I could go with a couple clowns. Just want to get everything going as soon as possible. Will wait for dust to settle then ill add biospira and check parameters. Once those are good I'll add two fish, inverts, and a couple corals?

I read you need at least one fish to help the bio spira work. Should I just get a chromis and not quarantine it?

Added rock first then sand then water. Once the water clears and I add the biospira should I add a fish and inverts to help the process?

Once the sand settles if I add the bio spira will I be safe to add one fish without quarantine and inverts to help the process?

Should I run my tank if the water is still cloudy? I just have live sand in there with dry rock. Planning on using bio spira too and that says my to run a skimmer for two days. When do you think I'll be able to add a fish with some inverts and corals?
