So I've been cycling my tank for about 8 weeks. Started with dry rock and dr tims fishless cycle. I have an IM fusion 20 tank.
I measured my water parameters yestrday:
salinity - 1.025
temp - 79.5
dkh - 11.2
ph - 7.8
ammonia - .27
nitrite - .006
nitrate - 3.2
I can't seem to get my nitrates below 3. They've been at that level for the last 3 weeks or so. And my ammonia has been going up little by little. I guess my question is what can I do to bring down my nitrates?
Should I just wait longer? Any help would be appreciated.
