I have a 37 gallon tank, finished cycling about 2 weeks ago. I added 2 juvenile occellaris clowns on Thur am (they have been in qt over 3 weeks). These are the first fish in the tank.
I have a cuc, including a fire shrimp and a peppermint shrimp, that have been in there for a few weeks.
I have been testing daily since I put the clowns in. This morning, the peppermint shrimp was dead (not a molt). I immediately took it out and tested. My ammonia is reading somehwere between 0 and .25 with API test, trites 0, trates between 10-20. PH is 8.0
I am going to do a water change to get the ammonia down, but how much of a water change is safe to do?
37 gallon tank, apx 40 lbs of rock. I was thinking 5 gallons now, and another 5 either tonight or tomorrow am and add prime. Is this too much at once?
Please let me know what is/isnt safe, I want to do what is best for the fish.
