Hi all, the last 2 planted tanks I’ve set up I’ve run into problems, the 1st one, after a week or so of being set up I noticed lots of bubbles, so I tested the water and the ammonia was through the roof, I haven’t introduced fish or anything so where is it coming from? The only thing i can think of is the root tabs... Another one I set up same sort of thing, again no fish, but instead of showing ammonia it shows a considerable about of nitrite and nitrate. Root tabs again are the only thing I can think of that could possibly cause this... I’m careful not to disturb them, and always push them right to the bottom of the substrate (which i should probs of mention is just plain gravel in both), so I don’t understand whats going on... Any thought? Also, the root tabs are the tropica ones, I’m in the UK so can’t buy the Aquarium Coop ones yet...
