I have been trying to cycle my 20g high tank for about 2 months now. I just now got my testing kit in from the mail and tested my water. I am disappointed with the results since i have been doing my water changes weekly.
my results are
ph - 7.6 (i need my ph to be on 6.8)
ammonia- 0ppm (the only thing I'm happy about)
nitrite - 5.0ppm or maybe a bit higher
nitrate - 10ppm-20ppm (i can't really tell if its on 10 or 20 but i would like it on 10ppm)
so my question is besides ammonia how do i lower my ph to 6.8 and my nitrite down to 0ppm?
