Hi peeps. Having killed two tropical crabs, I dont want to miss anything this time. I think Im ready, I plan to buy my new crabs on Saturday.
OK, so my tank is sucessfully cycled, Ive had a good qualifying week. This evening I have done a very large water change, dechlorinated, turned the temp back down 27 and then re-tested everything.
PH <7.4, ammonia 0 (then redosed), nitrite 0, nitrate 20 ppm (??)
I was quite surprised to see this level nitrate. Is this quite a high reading, should I try and water change it down some more?
