My results today were as follows. This is prior to doing a pwc as well.
Ammonia 0ppm
Nitrite 0ppm
Nitrate 5ppm
PH 7.2-7.6 color is so close in shade so I'm saying between those two
I have 7 black skirt tetras and 2 bristlenose pleco juvies in the tank as I'm doing a fish in cycle. I have had no dead loss as well. I'm running a brand new fluval C4 and a tetra air pump rated for 60 gallons.
I know I'm still early in my cycle, about a week to a week and a half in but I'm confused as why I'm seeing nitrates before ammonia and nitrites. My tap water showed no nitrates as well. Any thoughts? I do recall my PFS being wet when I restarted my tank even though it was emptied for almost 2 weeks after I moved so I'm wondering if any BB survived cuz my substrate was wet.
Here's a picture of my tank before I go but my low-medium light plants tomorrow.
