Just wondering if these readings are acceptable:

AVERAGE READINGS (over last 60 days):

Ammonia= 1.00
pH= 7.8
Nitrites= 0.00
Nitrates= 10.00

CURRENT READINGS:

Ammonia= 0.00 (with the last 5 tests remaining @ 0.00)
pH= 7.8
Nitrites= 0.00
Nitrates= 20.0 (with the last 4 tests remaining @ 20.0) I've watched the nitrates rise from 0.00 to the current level over the last 4-5 weeks.


Right now my water is sort of "tea colored" because of some driftwood I purchased from a highly reputable LFS. The owner of this LFS said this should clear in a few days.

Once again, thanks for everyone's input!

How long has the tank been running are you cycling the tank are you fishless cycling. your ammonia and nitrites should always be at 0 and your nitrates should always ramain under 30. when your nitrates pass 30 it is time for pwc.
