Aquarium Advice Freak
Ok, Im new here, From Australia. So hello to you all.
I have a 55g cube, 2 powerheads, about 50kg of live rock, live sand, Protein Skimmer, Lots of mushrooms, Pink/red algae growing all over the rocks and sides of glass.
Fish
2x Percula clownfish
1x Royal Dottyback
1x Copperband Butterfly
1x Coral Beauty
1x Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
1x Zebra Wrasse/Dottyback (Not sure of the fish, But i know its zebra something. Sorry.)
1x Firefish/Fire Gobie
About 7 Snails
Corals
3x Anemones
Multiple Mushrooms
I have more coral, I just cant think of the names atm (I'll post a pic up of the tank.)
Now, My problem is, I have a Nitrate reading of 20ppm since yesterday. All my fish are fine, Corals are fine, Tank is clear and looking good. Now i may have over fed them, Im not to sure. Every other level of Ammonia, Nitrite, ect ect is 0, And is doing fine.
I didnt have a filter running, Water changes, Live rock and sand did it. But today i brought a filter, Nothing to flash, Thought it may help.
Im not expert on marine fish, But have studied alot about it and learning as i go on.
Here is a quick snap i took of the tank (Doesnt look to good in this pic)
But hopefully someone can help me out.
