I was originally planning on using the tank for one GSP after going back and forth over that or marine. The cycle is agonizing though, since I've had 0 ammonia readings for weeks, but nitrite has been way off scale (above 25) for weeks (about 4) with no sign of dropping.
I think I'm going to do a complete water change, switch the tank to marine, try either bio-spira or Dr. Tims, and stock it with a valentini puffer, a captive bred banggai cardinal, and a pair of false percula clowns and maybe a small group of hermits. I just need to pick up a skimmer. Does anyone have any comments on the proposed tankmates for the valentini? Any suggestions?
