:cool:

Finally got the nitrate test today, went through all the steps and it returned 0ppm, so i must have done something right so far :)

Only nagging thing is a bit of algae build up on the glass, but i think that is because i have it too close to a window, now my housemate has moved, there is a place away from the window I will move it to next water change. Now all I have to do is find somewhere that will take the baby mollies once they grow out a bit more :)

And I need to work on a better selection of fish too, the neon and glowlight must be lonely :sad:
 
0 nitrates thats very odd to hear of.
depending on algae color it could be lighting related or it could be sucking up all the Nitrates in the tank but I didn't think they could cause a 0 reading.
 
It could be a fraction over 0, but it was definatly below 5 on the colour chart

canarsie11: just a standard nitrate test kit from the LFS, similar process to testing pH but with two diferent chemicals, and a bit more time involved
 
What is the bioload that you putting into this tank? Is this a breeder tank?
