So it's been about two months I've had this 150G tank: the cycle is completed, since I have zero ammonia and nitrite levels for a while now. Here's the question I have, though:
I haven't done any significant water changes yet, and I still have a nitrate level of zero. It's unquestionably zero at this point since I know it isn't the test kit and it's a clear zero reading. I used to have a whole bunch of algae growing on the sand and I thought that might be taking care of the nitrates, but now there isn't much algae and I still get a zero reading. I have a lot of details in the link in my signature, I'm not sure which are relevant here. Is it bad that I have no nitrates, or should I be doing something?
