anyways, I recently got gifted a tank from a friend who could no longer keep it up. it had no fish, though it had some plants. it had been kept going just enough to keep the plants living for the most part. I've been working on fixing the cycle since 8/17. on the 22nd I tried out some API quickstart, and it's been eating up ammonia really well. here are the levels as I measured today:
PH- 7.4
KH- ~100ppm
GH- ~150ppm
Ammonia- 0ppm
Nitrites- 2.0ppm
Nitrates- ~3ppm
I'm a bit worried about the nitrite levels, and I'm unsure if I need to do something/add something, or if I just need to keep on waiting. I'm also looking into lowering the GH? I can copy down some of the previous test results if it's helpful
I appreciate any help, this seems to be a wonderful forum
