Just had my water tested at pet shop and asked them to write down numbers for me....ph 7.4 and 0 for Amo, Nitrites and Nitrates...same as I get at home with my liquid tests.
I just wanted to double check incase I was making a mistake, as recently, I read on here somewhere, Nitrates should have some reading if tank is cycled?! My tanks is new but went through a fish in cycle in about 4-5 weeks without a problem...Amo peaked then trites then trates.... I have replaced nothing filter wise, always been fish in producing plenty poop (2platty's) tank is 16G I think, 60 litres...no real plants??? What is going on. Shop said water was too clean..didn't think I actually had fish in it, I explained I have recently been doing daily water changes as one of my platty's was sick with wound on head (in different thread) would this explain pristine conditions???
