Updates of my tank, Ammonia nil, ph is 8.5, SG is 1.021, Nitrite is nil but the thing is Nirate is 25mpp.

The thing is I add in more live rocks 2 weeks back and Nitrate was 12.5mpp. but it had shot up to 25 since a week ago. Did a water change 4 days back and today did a test again. The results are stated as above.

Need to ask is my tank still cycling on the Nirate area? How long is this Nirate going to stay so high? So far touch wood no Chimos, Demsal and Hawkfish die on me yet.

Any advise other than water change to bring the Nitrate down?

if im not wrong, low nitrate is not a indicator of cycling ending.

because denitratiing bacteria is very slow.

the increased nitrate after adding lr is due to more nitrifyin bacterias. so now your system processe ammonias and nitrites quicker into nitrate. so 0 ammonia and 0 nitrite is good enough.

nitrate control is something of another topic i think.

correct me if im wrong?
