So far I have only been testing for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate, should I be testing for anything else?
My water chemistry with regards to the above tests has been mostly stable since it cycled, with only one or two very small nitrite spikes. I currently am dealing with some cyano but since a water change, three days without lights and two days with reduced lighting, the cyano is significantly reduced. I intend to do further water changes in the next few days/weeks.
I don't really have any intention of keeping any stoney corals yet, I am no where near experienced enough and to be honest, I'm not convinced my 33g tank is appropriate for such an endeavour. Though I may end up adding some soft corals, it depends on how things go and if I begin to feel more confident in my care-taking; so far I have only really had one mishap and that was a bi-colour blenny jumping while I was out so there's not much I can really do about that... I have a mandarin and a LMB who both seem to be doing brilliantly and a refugium absolutely teeming with life.
