Chris,

Your tank has been set up for 5 months. It has cycled by now, unless something large has died and you haven't noticed.

However, your later tests conclude that you have 0 ppm amonia and nitrite, and 10 ppm nitrate. I don't think there is a problem with your cycle, and probably nothing has died in the tank, otherwise ammonia levels would still be at least 1 ppm.

To be on the safe side, do the ammonia and nitrite tests again today to confirm your last test results. If they continue to be 0 ppm, I would not remove anything from your reef.

There are several questions about your tank and how you treat your tapwater that have gone unanswered. These answers would sure help me better understand what's going on in your tank.
