Picture of my tuxedo making my coral mad for attention😂
I need help‼️
Sorry for the long post
My tank is about 3 months old.. added my coral and fish after the initial cycle to where my ammonia dissipates 2ppm in about 2-3 days. I added fish and corals about a month ago. My soft corals are doing AWESOME, growing! The sps coral not so well. I screwed up though, I have a canister filter (see why people avoid them now) and I cleaned my filters (not the media) after the diatoms started to turn green. I think I have accidentally restarted the cycle... if you look at my parameters, I can "overfeed" and in a couple days my ammonia spikes, dissipates, then It seems to not turn to nitrites to be able to turn into nitrates... how do I get nitrates?

Just give the bacteria some time to build back up, maybe feed a little less. Also, an urchin and MACROALGAE, godspeed my friend.

I appreciate it! And the urchin has already stole some peices to decorate himself/eat😂😅

Your soft corals look super happy under that blue light! Nano tanks can be a challenge with nutrient swings and canister filters definitely add an extra layer. I totally get the SPS struggle in a young system. Hang in there and keep tweaking, it gets easier as things mature!
