Had 2 tanks going for about 2-3 weeks and need some help to understand whats going on.
One 60l with java moss/fern, bog wood and one 15l with java moss, Both with a few beach stoned which were boiled.
I've been using the fish food method and have been adding a bit of finely ground fish food every day.
The ammonia in both tanks has stayed at 1 for about a week and only today is just hinting towards 2, should I add more fish food at each 'feed' to raise the Ammonia or stay as I am and wait for more decay, there is alot of food settled on the floor.
The nitrites have been rising and are both now at 2-5. I also have quite high nitrates I think for so early in the cycle, reading 40 in the larger tank and was reading 10 in the smaller tank although it dipped to 5 today.
Basically am I on the right track?
