    So trites and ammo are at zero? If your still cycling I would let them reach ten before you water change.

    +1, but if you are cycled, then doing 50% should bring them down to around 35 I would think. They should come down on their own though.

    Cool. What are nitrates at now? Even with no corals and only fish you want your trates around ten. Are you using rodi?

    That will help with nitrates among other things right?
