Water parameters.. Need help !


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Been almost 3 week of my cycling dosing bacteria everyday to consume ammonia and nitrites. Tested water param just now, Ammonia is 2mg/l , nitrite is 0 i guess.. (water in testtube is clear but abit yellowish). So i tested for nitrate today with API test kit. The reading was 160mg/l. Super high. What should I do to reduce the nitrate? Once the nitrate is around 30-40mg/l and ammonia and nitrite - 0 , I can add some LS in already right? Btw my nitrite was dark purple few days ago.. suddenly dropped to 0 after not testing it for a few days. Is it normal or something went wrong?

Pls advise me as I'm still new to this. thanks :)
