I've had a slightly unusual reading in my tank tonight & wondered if anyone has any ideas?
My tank finished cycling on the 24th May and my readings have been consistent at 0 ammonia, 0 Nitrite, ph 6.0 & between 10-20 nitrate. Tonight I have tested and my readings are Ammonia not quite 0, but not 0.6 either (a tiny hint of colour), 0 nitrite, 10 nitrate, but my ph has risen to 7.0. My ph has always been at 6.0 (my other tank is reading 6.0 tonight) & both had PWC's on the same night.
I know it's probably not a bad thing, the ph rising a little, but I'm just a little perplexed. I added a piece of Rainbow rock about a week ago, could this be making the difference?
