Aquarium Advice Regular
Ok.....I'm 35 days into my cycle.
Ammonia is at 0ppm and been that way for 2 weeks.
Nitrite is 'around' .5ppm (certainly no more) for the past 7 days
Nitrate is 'around' 5ppm
PH remains solid at 7.0
I've been doing approx 20% PWC's every 2-3 days.
Two questions:
1) Is the Nitrite reading of .5ppm for the past 7 days 'seem' ok?
2) I'm beginning to get what appears to be 'brown' algae spots on my driftwood and silk plants. Any suggestions? I've been tempted to introduce a couple of Oto's (and maybe a couple Cory's) but fear it may be too early?
Thanks
