I thought the tank was fully cycled. It was running as a cichlid tank for many years.
I was sold a snowflake eel and was told kit will live with them fine. Needless to say this was not the case.
My son really liked the Eel so I decided to make the tank real brackish wit marine salt not cichlid salt to better
suite the Eel.
One thing led to another and I realized my salinity was up at 1.016 which is where all my lfs keep teir saltwater fish. So I purchased a few damsils and Left them and the cichlids in the tank for two weeks. Then I started moving the cichlids to my office cichlid tank and started stocking this with fish. All small by the way
That is how I got to where I am now. So how do I fix ammonia and Nitrite problem. Water changed twice with no luck. Added some prime and seachem stabilizer since you said I was cycling I felt it may help things along. I also purchased like 15 lbs of live rock and added to the tank the past 2 days.
My goal is Healthy happy fish and a healthy tank. Any suggestions what to do next?
