Here is what I got going on.
90 Gallon tank been running for about 3 weeks. With wet/dry and Canister filter. I do have about 4 small fish in it.
My readings tonight are:
PH - 7.0
Ammonia - 1ppm
Nitrite - 0ppm
Nitrate - 5ppm
They were close to the same last night so I did a water change. I plan to do another one again tonight. I did about a 30 percent change last night.
I used a piece of driftwood from a buddies established tank. I have access to a HOB established filter as well.
Is my tank cycled now since the Nitrate is showing up? or is it because of the wood that he gave me? I thought that the ammonia should be at 0ppm if the nitrate was showing up?
Thanks.
