Ph verys from fish to fish otherwise, your ammo should always be 0, nitrites 0 and nitrates are a little debated but i would say anywhere from 0-20. Looks like the ammo on your 30 is a bit high

ok pwc?

 

[tornadonick]

do you have fish in it or is it still cycling? same with the 10 actually , those numbers seam like the cycle hasnt really started in it yet, is it new? If you have fish in it i would definately do a 50% maybe more(somebody with more experience chime in?) and keep it up once or twice a day until it drops down below .25 and preferably 0.

Partial water changes. Use it when cleaning filter media. Never clean filter media in tap water, you'll kill the bacteria.

Your numbers look good. When you see an ammo spike, do a PWC.
