Wanting to add clownfish in this weekend to tank that's been cycling for 4 weeks.
Yesterday: Nitrite 1, Nitrate 10, ammonia 0
Today: Nitrite 5, Nitrate 25, ammonia 0
Should I be doing water changes to lower the nitrite and nitrate or just wait it out and keep adding fish food? Is it safe to add clownfish in this weekend pending I do a water change if nitrite isn't 0 by then?
I also just added more live rock + treated it with coral dip... is that enough for curing?
Also having what looks like some red hair algae on my GSP - do I need to brush it off? GSP is doing great.
 
Cycle is done. You can add a fish. You should continue to do water changes though (10% WC a week to start with), as your nitrate and phosphate levels will probably be all over the place. The fish will be fine though
