Today I was doing my usual tests using API master test kit.
My parameters were
PH 7.6
AMMO .25 ppm
NITRITE 2.0 ppm !!!!!
NITRATE 0 ppm
I did a huge 60% water change and gravel vac. Am I doing everything right? What else can I do to bring it down?
Btw, I'm doing a fish in cycle, it's a planted 10 gallon. It's Been running for 15 days. Is this just part of the cycle? I had a small ammonia spike a few days ago but it only went to .25 and has stayed there. Change the water every other day.
How often should I start changing my water until my parameters are on track ? PLEASE HELP
