Very nice

Just saying, if you are still trying to cycle, working with plants, and all the day to day activities in a new tank it is easy to get focused on one thing, and loose track of another. And if you have many "projects" going on and things go a little off, it can be hard to determine the cause. Good...

Mine do that all the time, and never had any snailettes……..so I really don't know.

Beautiful!!!!!

You are absolutely right, the Nitrate test sometimes is very hard to read. I almost just rely on "orange is good, red is bad" attitude. Seeing as how you have not done any water changes on the 29 and you have slightly more nitrates than your source water, I will have to stick with my original...

When you say "very mature" sponge filters, I am assuming you mean seeded from another tank? If so with little to no bioload, you may not see ammonia or nitrites. Test your source water for nitrates, if there is none and you have nitrates in your tank it would tell me you have instantly cycled...
