First time tank build

[Longnose Hawkfish]

Are you usin RODI water? Does your water change water contain any nitrates?

Shaking off all the live rock, cleaning te sand bed, and wiping the glass could have caused a spike.

We did all the shaking off before the water change in hopes that we would suck all out. Yes RODI from the lfs, and we tested it also.

I think we may have changed too much and initiated a mini cycle =/
Ph is like 8.4, ammonia between .25 & .50. Nitrites 0 and nitrates still like 40.
