Ok so I decded to do a full blown water test on both my tanks,,here are the results
125
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 40ppm
GH 107.4
KH 143.2 ppm
PH 8.0
55
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 10ppm
GH 179ppm
KH 107.4 ppm
PH 8.4
The only products I have used are Prime, Stability, Seachem Malawi Buffer, and Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt.
My first question is why would the results be different on each tank when the method is the same? Second question is shouldnt my gh/kh be higher than it is for Malawi and Tang tanks?
I am afraid the rise in Nitrates on the 125 is actually due to the Wet/Dry and not being able to really clean out all the food and stuff that hits the bottom without a total break down of the tank. Any suggestions or are my water conditions ok?
