New Tank Nitrates

[taylored_projects]

Hey reefers so I’ve been cycling my tank for about 3 months I used a raw shrimp. I have watched my Ammonia and Nitrites rise and fall to zero. I have done two 6% water changes and my Nitrates are at or above 50 using my Red Sea test kit. I am wanting to add my first fish but what are your thoughts? I just started running Polly Filter and Chemi Pure Blue should I keep doing water changes or what are your thoughts?

Could do another water change. .50 isn't great but for a fish it would be ok. No coral tho. If you do like a 25 % water change and wait a day then test again it should be lower and you can add

I believe you are suppose to do a "large" water change, 30 to 40% after cycle is complete.
