Hey family, hope all is well with everyone and hope you had a great holiday.
My question is this, those who know me,know I have bad OCD and I've been trying to cut back on the testing like I was 3x's a week. I'm doing good sometimes just once a day and one day I even skipped!!
Anyway I tested today and. I ammonia? Water change, last Sunday. How can I have 0 ammonia? Everything else is fine. pH 8.2,nitrite 0, nitrates 20.
Where did my ammonia go? Overstocked and now I have probably about 15-17 Anubias and 4 java fern. I do flourish 2x a week and have root tabs in place.
75 gallon tank, temp is steady at 78-79.
Could the plants be helping along? Just find it odd, not use to seeing no trace of ammonia and wc done on Sunday.
Also I always dose with Prime during water change and I know it's been discussed ALOT here on the forum but I do use Seachem's Cichlid salt (not all the time) so far it turns out to once a month but I dose accordingly.
Well that's it.
Happy New Year!!
