Hello everyone,
I just want to ask regarding my cycling tank., It is a 50 gallon fowlr with around 55 lbs lr, 2 1800l/h powerheads and a protein skimmer no sump, so I did my first reading on ammonia nitrite and nitrate today and results were
ammonia- 0.25-0.5 ppm
NO2 - 0 ppm and
NO3 - 5-10 ppm
My tank has only been running for exactly 1 week today and I was surprised to have these results on my first test compared to my previous 5gallon and 10 gallon tank.
Is this possible or did I just have an error on the readings?
Oh btw, I am using an API saltwater master test kit
