Just ran my first set of water tests. My set-up is still new so I'm not sure what to think about the results.
Details;
- 46 gal bow front
- Been set-up for about a week and a half
- Added water conditioner and Safe Start (bottled bacteria)
- Added 7 Zebra Danios about a week ago
- Added 3 Kuhli Loaches 2 days ago
- Added 5 Black Neon Tetras 2 days ago
- All fish seem to be doing well
- Added 1 medium sized Amazon Sword plant
- Added 1 small Rubin Sword plant
Measurements;
Ammonia = ~0
pH = ~7.4
Nitrite = ~0
Nitrate = ~2.5
Are these numbers OK given the newness of my tank? Should my Nitrate be going up faster?
Thanks, as always, for any input.
