What are the signs of a healthy new tank?
what is a normal and healthy progression that a tank will go through in beginning stages?
my progression: Dec 20th setup
1. increased ammonia, low nitrite, low nitrate
2. Decreased ammonia, high nitrite, low nitrate
3. 0 ammonia, low nitrite, high nitrate
...........brown diatom algae.........
............water change................
...............clean up crew.............
4. 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, low nitrate, low phosphate
................brown diatom algae gone.......
................green algae growing on rocks..........
....2 Wyoming white clowns and coral added......
That’s where I stand....is this green algae a good sign? Growing on rocks mostly, but also slight film on glass a bit. I magnetic wipe daily.
Thanks!
