    This is day 21 of my cycle on my 210G tank.

    Ph 8.0
    Nitrate 5.0
    Nitrite .25
    Ammonia .25

    I have not ran the lights at all. Protein skimmer has been turned off. I have added some flake fish food about 3 days ago. Not running anything in the sump as far as carbon or anything in the filter socks. Should I wait another week before I do a 10% WC or go ahead and do one now and wait a couple days and test the parameters again? I used DR, mixture of live sand and dry sand, and 3 damsels.

    Thanks guys!

    Leave it and let it go. I doubt if a water change will make much of a difference at all.
