test levels

Hey all, I just tested my levels after 2 weeks and I need help! Here are my levels.Ammonia is 0.25 ppm, nitrite is 1.0 ppm, nitrate is 40 ppm and ph is 7.8 ppm. How do I get my ranges back in order? Thanks

It looks like you are still cycling, simply wait!

Hopefully your still in the cycling fase and havent added and fish or corals yet. But as long as you havent added anything yet just leave it be and let it finish cycling. Once the ammonia and nitrites reach 0 then you can do a big water change to drop the nitrates.

If you did already add fish or coral then do a 25% water change and test again the next day and do another one if needed
