I just bought a api freshwater master test kit and tested my tanks for the first time. I'm kind of panicked about the results.
Tank 1 /45 gallon community tank
Ph: 7.6
Ammonia: 0 ppm
Nitrite: .25 ppm
Nitrate: 160 ppm
Tank 2 /75 gallon cichlid tank
Ph: 7.2
Ammonia: .50 ppm
Nitrite: 1.0 ppm
Nitrate: 160 ppm
I am assuming I need to address the nitrate first...should I start with partial water changes? Any recommendations on additives to help balance everything?
