Hello,
I started my 10 gallon tank about 3 weeks ago and my parameters are as follows according to my API marine saltwater test kit:
Ammonia : . 50ppm
Nitrite: 0( last week it was at .50ppm)
Nitrate : .10 to .20 ppm(I can't really tell the color)
Mostly I am curious what you guys about where I am in the cycle and why my nitrite dropped to 0 before my ammonia did? Do you guys think I'm almost through the cycle? I am also experiencing a big diatom bloom right now. Thank you for the help ahead of time.
