Hello everyone,
I am in the process of cycling a 90 gal freshwater tank with about 6 small green crypts planted. My nitrate level was @ 40 yesterday and today it is @ 5. I retested after a couple of hours to be sure it was correct and it is still @ 5. Is this normal or do you think the drop is due to the plants. I didn't think I had enough to make a difference. Anyone else HD this experience? Thanks for all input
