Helloo,
Just did my first water test after about 3/4 weeks of a fishless cycle. Halfway through the cycle i was given a used filter and also half a tank of water from a used fishtank, both from a friend, so this helped speed up the cycle. So the new fulter has been running for a week or 2.
The results are below, using a Nutrafin water testing kit
PH - 6.8
NO3 - 3
NO2 - 0.2
Ammonia 0.7
should i expect the ammonia to drop over the next week? i know the ph is slightly high. maybe because i added some new water today??
Im hoping its coming to the end of cycle. i will do another test tomorrow
cheers
Dan
