cycling question

[dad300]

I'm cycling my tank with live rock. Ph is 8.2 Nitrites .25 ppm nitrates 20 ppm and ammonia is 1.0 ppm. Do I need to do a water change?

there is no other livestock in the tank except for the live rock and associated hitchhikers.

I am cycling a 55. Started July 9. I have been checking amm and nitirite only. On July 17 I did a 15g sw change. The amm was at .25. I didn't start checking the nitrites till the amm. was at 0. July 25 I changed 10g sw and my amm was at 0 and nitrites were at 1. Today my nitrites are at .50. I have had trails for the last week or so plus I added a 1/2 cup of ls on the 24th. So I would say I am right on track time wise. Isn't it fun watching a box of water.:D

I would do a 10-20% water change.

Some of the small sensitive critters that may be on the rock will thank you for it.
