Cycle complete

[Travis91]

Hello reefers!!! My cycle has finally finished!!!! Didn't take long once the nitrites started to drop to drop to 0. So 0 ammonia 0 nitrite and nitrates are high. What percent of a water change should I do before adding a CUC? Nitrates are off the chart but I just put in a reef octopus int 150 and a chaeto algae to help with nitrates.

What is the concentration of nitrates? I would perhaps do a 50% water change to rid them.

let the chaeto handle things. nitrates will drop but can take some time
