Hey guys I just set up my first aquarium yesterday, pretty new to all of this still. I started the tank today with Dr. Tims One and only and added a couple clowns 4 hours ago roughly. I checked my parameters.
Ammonia 0.2 PPM
Nitrite 0 PPM
Nitrate 5 PPM
Alkalinity 7.5 DKH
Salinity 1.026 SG
PH 7.6
Temp 77*F
I believe the Ammonia is high which is a cause for concern, but since I do have Nitrates, that does mean its being broken down into Nitrite and then Nitrate correct?
Just making sure all is running as smooth as possible and any pointers/ advice would be greatly appreciated.
My setup is a IM Lagoon 50, with filter sock and media. I have a 1150 GPH power head and Ehiem Heater.
Thanks in advance
Brian
