Hello everybody, I am a new member and I have a question and I hope I can get some answers please:
I am in the 3rd week of cycling a new Nano Tank. I have used fritz 7 to boost the cycling process, I have a Tetra 250 filter system Gravel substrate Ph 7.5 with fake plants. I am also using a small pump with 1 air stone and a wood feature. I am testing with NT Labs test kit. I noticed 2 days ago that the Ammonia levels which were high have now crashed to the nil level which is great. The Nitrite Level is now dissipating to 1.0 however the Nitrate is still high. I performed a 30% water change Yesterday. Am I doing the right thing? Is my tank cycling? I want to keep Black Phantom Tetras, not many as it is only a 5 Gallon Tank.
Kind Regards,
Greg.
