It has been almost 3 weeks since I started cycling and I just checked the water and below is the results:
ammonia: between 0.25 -0.5ppm
nitrite: 0.25ppm
nitrate: 5ppm
When should I do water change? I have a 5G tank and did 15% water change this morning. Should I wait till tomorrow morning and check the water again and decide? When both ammonia and nitrite reach 0, do I do 90% water change? Do I clean the gravel when I do that or just change the water itself? I am sure there are lots of food waste on the bottom right now. And, when should I change the filter? I have a tetra whisper 10 filter. please let me know if you need more information.
