Hi, I am new to this site as well as aquariums in general. I am trying to take in as much info as possible, but find it a little overwhelming and advice seems to differ greatly depending on who you ask. Starting up (of course) was more than I thought. We have a 14 galloon, bio-cube, saltwater tank. We purchased it, along with 12 pounds of (cured) live rock and a Damselfish 6 weeks ago. We have recently added quite a bit to our tank, and today are seeing some negative affects. Our nitrate levels have spiked for the first time and today, we lost some of our new soft coral. Our new Anomne isn't looking too well either. We have been doing 10% weekly water changes, and have added 5 mL of the biological aquarium supplement each time (as directed by the aquarium store). We did another water and filter change today. It is starting to smell pretty bad in there too.
Any advice would be greatly appriciated right now.
Thank you!!
