hello all,
I am doing my first planted tank. I planted some Water sprites, Anubias, and a micro grass. My substrate is Seed starting mix miracle grow soil (With gravel on top). The tank is currently lightly planted and does not have any fish.
I wanted to see how the tank reacted before i put any fish in. its been two weeks and i am still not seeing my levels balance. I keep getting random ammonia spikes and a very high ph.
suggestions as to how to help my tank levels even out?
current levels:
ph - 8
ammonia - .25 ppm
nitrite - .25 ppm
nitrate - 30 ppm
Thanks in advance!
