In a another week or two I would do a water change.

Do you have a skimmer, if so run that.

Those values seem perfectly normal for a tank of that age.

Wait the two weeks
Start ghost feeding the tank

I've been using shrimp. i'll be heading to the LFS here in about an hour to get another wave maker and 2 power heads. 1 powerhead to assist with the water changes and another for a spare in case of a emergency. what do you recommend for ghost feeding. I plan on going to petsmart.
