Hi fishy friends. I started cycling Oct 30, and it is Nov 6th today. My question is, how is it possible for my nitrAtes to be going up and still have 0 nitrItes? It doesn't make sense to me from all I have read. Anyways, here is what has happened so far:
Day 1 Amm 6 Nii 0 Nia 0.5
day 2 3.5 0 7.5
day 5 1.25 .10? 10
day 7 0.25 0 20
I dosed ammo back up to 4 now...
And here I am. Does this make sense? I had a good amount of seeding material from the LFS.
I think my PH is around 7.5 if I recall from testing the first day. It's not that warm, I haven't purchased the correct size heater yet. There is SOME algae that started before I started cycling it (I had it just running with plain water for a while)... but not much.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!
