I've been testing every other day for the past week. On Wednesday, Ammonia had come down but was still present, and Nitrite was still going up. Yesterday (Friday), Ammonia and Nitrite measured ZERO, and Nitrate is up around 40ppm. So it's time for a water change and then to add the clean-up crew!
I also rearranged the rocks now that I can actually see in the tank. When Billy and I put the rocks in originally, the water had the clarity of skim milk. Plus most of the live rock I received was coral skeletons which is not exactly the look I was going for. So a couple of the coral skeletons I crushed with a hammer on the back patio, and put the small pieces into my refugium.
Hopefully all the messing around in the tank hasn't stirred up another Ammonia spike. I'll test again today or tomorrow before ordering the CUC.
Today I'm going to be experimenting with trying to glue the rocks together to prevent future rock slides. I'll post pictures when I can find the camera.
