Hello, I add 10 hermits last thursday, feeding 20 pellets a day (tdo chroma boost). I also added some dr. tim's one and only. My parameters were Ammonia .1, Nitrite .1, Nitrate 5-10. Ph 8.5., salinity 32.1, temp 77.9 It had been 6 weeks and the seemed almost cycled. The store person said the hermits would help complete the cycle.
I left to see my sick day over the weekend, Had a friend house sitting. I noticed when I got back last night the tank seemed a bit cloudy, A lot of the food pellets were suck in the overflow filter.
I cleaned out the filter sponges today and replaced the filter pads. My parameters were now Ammonia .3, nitrite .3 - .6, nitrate less than 5, ph 7.0, salinity 30.6 temp 77.9
should i do a 10% water change? not sure what to do. I'm going to stop feeding for a few days.
tank is 75gallon, sump 20 gallon.
