What I am confused about is my Nitrate. I thought the only way for it to be reduced is by a water change?
I am getting close to the end of my cycle, below are my readings from my last 3 tests:
Date----Ammo----Nitrite----Nitrate
4/10-----0.25------4.5------120
4/13-----0.25------0.25------15
4/14-----0.25------0.1------8
The trate reading of 120 was my first test for that, it's possible I messed up and looked through the side of the vial or some other dumb mistake.
My sand is starting to turn brown (diatoms?) in the low flow area. I also added 40# of lr from lr.com on 4/8. My ammo was much higher and is on the way down.
Does this look like a normal cycle?
