hey AA people....
so i fianlly decided to go out and buy a tank to see if i can actually raise any fish. I wanted to get a big 100 gallon tank but i decided to get a 10 gallon tank instead to see if i can actually take care of the fish.... so i started on saturday with the cycleing of water and so far its been good except for the water its kinda murky.
my readings are as follows:
PH 8.0
nitrate 2.5 ppm
nitrite no reading forgot to get the kit
ammonia 0.0-0.25 ppm
and my water temp is 28 C
just wondering for reading fourms on here that iam on the right step so far but iam just wondering what i need to do to lower the nitrate reading. I did use aqua plus tap water conditioner like it said to use on the bottle and i also used waste control and cycle.. maybe someone can point me towards the right direction and let me know if iam doing so far a good job.
