Hi folks, I'm new here. I just rekindled my aquarium interests after 40+ years. I have a question about ammonia/nitrite/nitrate testing.
I'm running a 37 gallon aquarium. It's maybe 20% planted. I have about 12 neon tetras, 10 harlequin rasboras, 10 green corys, 1 male betta, 3 ottos, 2 nerites and 4 amanos. I'm running an Aquaclear 50 hob and a sponge filter rated for up to 50 gallons. I've been doing about a 25% water change every other day.
I have the API fresh water master test kit and do a test every other morning. This morning my ammonia is showing "0" ppm. Nitrite is showing "0.50" ppm and Nitrate is showing "10" ppm. I don't know if I should be concerned and what I can do to improve things. Any suggestions? Much appreciated.
