Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hello, I’m still fairly new to aquarium keeping and I just upgraded to a 20 gallon with a good amount of guppies and 2 bristle nose plecos. I just did a water change along with sucking the gunk from the gravel but there still seems to be a noticeable amount of stuff floating around the tank. Also when I took a water test after the water change my nitrate and nitrite levels were high. First, does anyone have tips on cleaning substrate (gravel) and second should I be concerned about the high levels of nitrate and nitrite or since I just stirred up the water the test will be a off. Thank you.
