Been monitoring this over the last week or so and I'm nit sure if irs something to worry about?! Just looks like bunches of bubbles on white fluffy patches in places?

would you recommend just really heavily plant the back out?

Hey everyone! I'm in dire need of some tank decor/scape ideas. I'll post pictures of the tank so far but it's a rio 180 currently stocking 12 black neon tetras and a pair of German rams...

ok 24 hours later ammonia & nitrite are both 0.25 so add another 3 ppm ammonia and repeat this yes?

nitrate 10 ppm

3 days after dosing upto 1ppm ammonina ammonia 0 nitrite 0 should i re dose ammonia and test after 2 days?

Thankyou very much!! I best get buying plants then!!

The pH was fine and havnt changed anything after that. only the last 7 days or so its dropped. Just substrate which is only thing it could be as its maturing. Its tropica aquarium soil powder

Okay left tap water overnight and the pH is 7.8 so I'm confused why it's so low in the tank?

Aaah okay ill re do it then and test tomorrow :) thankyou

I dosed upto 3ppm after 2 days it was 0.25 then two days after that (today) was 0 I've just dosed back upto 1 ppm ammonia so will test again Monday :) hopefully nitrites have come down So confused why my tap water is 7.2 pH but my tank water is 6.6 :/

Just tested my PH straight from the tap and its 7.2 Whyyyy is it so low in the tank?

Ammonia down to 0 Nitrite still 2 or 5 or more? Do i add more ammonia or just keep that at 0 till nitrite drops abit? Cheers

It was 7.2 for ages I don't understand why it's dropped?

tested ammonia on 2nd day & 0.25 ppm reading... what would you suggest?? PH dropped down again to 6.2 :( Nitrite either 2 or 5 or over.. hard to tell! should i water change to bring PH back up?

ammonia is down to 1 ppm after one day so ill test again tomorrow and hopefully be 0 then test 2 days later for another 0 right?? then dose back upto 1 ppm??

Well i added enough ammonia to get upto 4 ppm and since then havnt added any. Today is the first time ive tested for 3 days since that first post like you said and the ammonia has gone down to about 0.35 or so? Im worried about how high my nitrite & nitrate levels are & if i add more ammonia...

Ok so three days later ive tested again Ammonia: between 0.25 & 0.50 ppm Nitrite: minimum 2 ppm but cant tell if its over 5 ppm :/ Nitrate: between 80 & 160 ppm?? So am i right in guessing to redose with ammonia? Also PH seems to have dropped down to 6.6 from 7.2 :/

Ahh brilliant! Thanks for the much more detailed version of what i found on google!! I added ammonia till it was showing 4ppm (checked daily) Thankyou very much for the quick reply! :) ill keep updating!
