Hiya all,
I started my tank only about 1.5 month ago (25g). I did a fish cycle while dosing bacteria and it has worked a bit too well. My nutrients are bottoming out and even tho i added another fish and fed more, it keeps going down. Attached a pic of my parameters.
I vaccuumed the sand once, when i scrape the window i put filter floss in the overflow to not get all the gunk in the backsump. I also fed sparsely before. Stocking is 1 dartfish 1 clown and 1 goby. I understand that i am not adding a lot of nutrients and taking nitrate sources out, but i have never had a tank actually bottoming out.
I know its not a faux bottom where algae soak it up since i barely have those. My tank also uses up quite some KH and I have to dose every other day.
I dont even have a CUC yet…
Fun thing is that i only have lps and leathers, and they dont seem to mind and still open up.
I use hanna checkers. (Alkalinity ppm, Phosphorus ULR and Nitrate HR)
Any reason for panic or just let it go until the dinos show up?
