Hi, my stats are as follows:

Ammonia: 0ppm
Nitite: 0ppm
pH: 7.2
High Range pH: 8.0
Nitrate: 10 (this one I am worried about) :look:

Tank 40g , running 2 weeks with dwarf gourami and 11 neon tetra.

Thank you :)
 
your water stats are good. 10 ppm nitrate is quite low. did you do a fishless cycle? if not 2 weeks to cycle(no ammonia or nitrite) is very quick
 
nitrate of 10 is fine for your fish.

why have you got two results for ph... you don't need to do two tests. Do the regular test, if you get the higest or lowest score then do the high/low range ph test. If it's just 7.2 then that's your ph.

I just went through the bottles that was in the box :look:
Thanks for letting me know I will just do the one now :)

no worries we all make these mistakes at first!! just replied to your pm think your fine.

just for anyone else to know the tank was 2nd hand and the filter kept in water so i reckon at most it's had a mini cycle in the last 2 weeks and has all settled now :good:
 
Your stats are fine, have you checked the water out of the tap (i am assuming this is what you use) you will find it probably contains Nitrate already.
