latest water test
The latest water test (done with the test tubes, not strips)
Ammonia 1 (way down from the 4 it was five days ago)
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 5
We just got the tests for the nitrite and nitrate last night. I'm kind of worried b/c I figured since we were going from too much ammonia down, that we should have some nitrite (which I know is bad, but I assumed it would be present). I also thought that the Nitrate was supposed to be higher.
We've been doing daily water changes of 25%, and the ammonia is definatly coming down. I just want to make sure that the tank is cycling properly.
Are these readings normal??
Thanks,
~J~
