Wouldn't worry about water changes unless parameters rise, looks good now.

i have the feeling like your tank will pull througj. as everyone already said, keep an eye on your prams and water change when needed.
and take the buying privlages away from your other half...

OMG....I would KILL my husband if he went and bought fish for my tank and dumped them in. Aside from that...you'll be ok. Be carefull with the feedings, rinse your frozen food as it tends to be high in nitrates. _________ Kimmy | |

We got the tank for my husband, but he's lost touching rights...he can top off with ro/di water (because the bucket is too heavy for me to lift when it's full) until I get an ATO...and sometimes scrape algae off the front glass! He is also allowed to take pictures when the LIGHTS ARE ON only!!! He doesn't know how to turn the flash off on the camera and scares the inhabitants of the tank taking pictures of brittle worms at 10 PM.
He will never again go to the LFS and come home with something like snails that won't right themselves or fish that are too fragile for beginners...our cardinal that he bought lasted a week.
I love him...but he is too impulsive! He wanted a coral beauty today (my tank is too small, will probably stress it out) and then a cherub angel this afternoon and I was like...NO WAY are you getting a fish that might even think about nipping my corals...

A 25 gallon tank - IMO a small pygmy angel would be fine.
edit - just realised you set it up on the 23 may. So im wrong, leave it 6 months and then a small pygmy angel would be fine IMO _________ You will never know whats in my tank as i can only type 15 words  | |

I do not want very many fish...more like a variety of interesting corals and a few fish to make the kids happy. They of course want a clown...
I just got a rainford (court jester) goby that is in quarantine for two weeks. So it'll be at least another 6 weeks before another fish is added. | |

I really believe that the bio load caused the issue as this tank probably just completed cycling and initiated another mini cycle...I think a water change would interupt the process. Just my 2 cents... _________ 72 gallon bowed 150lbs LR 60 lbs LS
