nitrite or nitrate? Give it time, it has to spike before it can drop.

Waiting is the hardest part.

Normally it's best to wait at least 3 months before adding any coral.

patience, the longer you wait now the more stable the tank down the road

gotta agree with everyone. We were all there...we KNOW your frustration. But you have to wait. Don't get any quick fix additives either. They'll work now, but you'll run into problems down the road.

Best thing you can do, is run to the hardware store..and get some Duct Tape!

Why?

So you can tape your hands together, or course. This will keep you out of trouble, and help the tank a LOT!

hang in there chief...sooner than you think, the waiting will be over!
