Tank cycle advise..

[Fjdam]

Hi,

I would like to know which is recommended,

My current tank is cycled with tap water coming to a mth.. so now is do i need to do major WC? Like 50% or i need more to bring my nitrate down as there is no LS currently.

Or its useless, just wc at 10% will do with NSW/saltmix to rapidly remove the nitrate/phos

10% is not enough to bring down the nitrate and phosphate level. Like you said , best to do a 50% wc to help correct the parameters

Just to add on if u don't want to always be doing 50% wc just to correct nutrient level, it will be good to adopt one of the many nutrient export system readily available, depending on what u want to keep. From keeping Cheetos to using bacterials the list goes go.. Read and understand these system and choose a system that best suits your reefing style
