Hi My tank has been Cycling for now 6 weeks i did a test at my local store numbers started looking good MG 1100, AMMO 0.7, NITRITE 0.3, NITRATE 0, AND PH7.8 DATE 23/07/2024
told to add KH and let it cycle for 1 week
As of today, 5/08/2024, the numbers are starting to look good, but I noticed a spike in Ammo to 1.0. However, I've taken proactive steps to address this, and other areas look okay: PH 7.9, Ca477, MG 1174, nitrite 0.5, Nitrate 0.0. This reassures me that I'm on the right track.
I have no Skimmer on, No Lights, and a filter sock only, and I did a big water change 3 weeks in due to dosing Ammo, then got it back to under 2.0 when I started the cycle again, but now it is going back up? 1.0
Tank TEMP IS 26.5 - 27.5
Can anyone tell me why it went up?
