I did a ~40% water change this morning and I just checked my ammonia level is 0.25ppm and my nitrite level is 0.25ppm. Iām aware this isnāt the best. I only have water that is about 7 hours old.. What should I do?

Yes good advice... I have nitrates in my water which I only realised after testing it. I always had zero ammonia and nitrites... but after a water change moderate nitrates... couldnāt work out why until I did this. As I have a big filter after a week the nitrates also reduce significantly as the bacteria convert it to nitrogen. So I need to be careful with big water changes.Check your water source to see if it has ammonia, nitrite, nitrates.
