New planted tank and plants are melting

Hi Kai,

that is a common phenomen within new tanks. The tank starts to cycle and bacteria for nitrification start to develop. Since your tests don't show minimalistic readings, you don't notice them, but there is a bit NH4 and NO3 for sure. This NO2 will go away soon and afterwards your tank is ready for fish and other animals 😉 In germany, we call this a nitrate-peak. Don't know if thats a thing here too.

Thx a lot! I guess I am just a little inpatient now after 4 weeks.🙂 I will sit and wait until my little bacteria fiends eat up the NO2. Do u think I should do a water change now or better wait? Thx

Kai
 
Hi,

everyone is inpatiant at this point. I know this issues for several years but all the time I jump to google, typing "diatoms within the first weeks" 😉

Just stick to your normal routine. If there is no life stock, there is no problem with NO2.
