hi guys
right i'm 18 days into my fishless cycle on my 240 uk litre tank, the readings are as follows:
ammonia kept around 3-4ppm
nitrIte is about 5ppm highest my test kit goes
nitrAtes are only just registering between 0 + 5.0 ppm very hard to tell as colours similar
now is this normal & will nitrAtes suddenly start to rise soon
had nitrItes in there for about a week now maybe bit longer the tank is quite heavly planted so is this the reason nitrAtes arnt showing up
i would be grateful for any advice on this
thanks all trace
