Water levels off

Tested my water this evening. Amonia, nitrates & nitrites are high. Phosphates are high as well. I use ro/ di water and my Tds meter reads ok. So I am to assume that because of the rock wall Installation a week or so ago, & the major disturbance of my deep sand bed, that I am going through a small cycle. I will be performing two 10 gallon water changes over the next few days. This should help decrease the high levels.

Our scopas tang passed away today. When we bought him a week ago he was in poor health & we hoped to rehabilate him and turn his health around. Despite our efforts he did not make it. This is the second fish we have lost over the past 5 years, the 1st was our goby that was eaten by our carpet anemone a few days ago.
