Ok, so today I took readings at 11am, performed a 15% water change and added pH increase, then retook the readings at 5pm. Thoughts on why such a dramatic change?
Tank Info: 15g column tank, 1 neon tetra (others died), 3 platys
11am readings:
pH: 6.8
ammonia: .50ppm
Nitrite: .25ppm
Nitrate: 0 ppm
5pm readings:
pH: 7.6
ammonia: .25 ppm
Nitrite: .25 ppm
Nitrate: 20 ppm
What should I do next? Am I close to being cycled? Why the spike in Nitrates?
