Today I did a test on my water quality. As of today I have 0 Ammonia, 7.8 PH, 0.25 Nitrite and 80 Nitrate. How do I get these numbers to where they have to be? I have a 14g biocube with about 20lbs of live rock. temp is good at 78. Any ideas or tricks of the trade?

Whats your WC routine? Need to do a lot more of them and bigger. lots of ways to get nitrate down....depends how much you want to do...but start with cleaning your tank really well and changing a lot of water.

Being 2 weeks in it looks like your tank is still still cycling. You can do a water change to bring the nitrates down as suggested above but I would still wait until the nitrites register 0 then wait another week to add live stock.

My tank finished cycling about a week or 2 back and I still have not added any fish to the tank. I started cycling in the middle of September.

Just my 2 cents. Good Luck
