quikv6 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 What exactly is "perfect?" Please list parameters, as something could stick out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MICRO-TANKER Posted May 14, 2022 Author Share Posted May 14, 2022 PH 7.2 No Ammonia No Nitrate No Nitrite Tank has been cycled a long time ago. Tank has been running for over a year with no sick fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quikv6 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Is it a very heavily planted tank? Sometimes 0 nitrates can indicate a bump in the cycle, for some reason. Also, what are GH, KH, and PH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
