I have a 65 gallon tank with 20 gallon sump i recently set up with ro/di water..
I put about 15 lbs of live rock and the rest base rock on Saturday with 2 uncooked shrimp.
Yesterday my test readings where
PH 8.4
ammonia .50
Nitrite 1.0
Nitrate 0
Today my test readings are
PH 8.0
ammonia .50
Nitrite 5.0 PPM
Nitrate 10 PPM
The nitrite shot way up over night.. Maybe i should remove the shrimp?
Im just not sure right now.. Looking for opinions,, TY
