Hey hey.
Yes, I've read the thread about testing.
I'm a little confused with these results;
ammonia : 1.0 ppm
nitrite : .125 ppm
nitrate : 10 ppm
What part of the 'cycle' does this represent? None that I've seen in the book I'm looking at or online resources; I thought I had to have nitrite before nitrate.
I'm hardly feeding the 6 danios in there at all, so I don't think it's extra food causing the nitrate; ideas?
Oh - and the pH of my tank water is 7.4/7.5 - should I be looking to lower this for angel/gourami/community tank?
