Help w/ new tank

[FishboyBT]

I got the RSM and my chemical levels are kind of high.

Nitrite-.5 ppm

Nitrate-was kind of hard to read but in between 5-10ppm

Ammonia-.25ppm

Phosphate-.1 ppm

How do I get them all to zero?

Just let your tank go through a cycle, skimming wet. BTW, how new is your tank . If all the live rock, sand is brand new, don't expect them levels to drop any time soon

2-3 weeks for the LR, but the tank was from IMAC and we just didn't empty the sand. I mixed the salt w/the tank water.

Just give it sometime cuz the tank still going through a cycle with the rock and sand.

Moved to NTTH as more a propos.

I agree that a bit more time is likely all that's needed.
