hello people just got my api test kit through the day had my tank up and running for 2 weeks now and am amazed that my water is fine ph is 7.0 nitrate is 5.0 and eveything else is 0.0 how could this be? and yes am readying the results right does that mean my fish in the tank are helping or does it mean am doing a good job?
