nitrate 0
Tank water: ammonia 0
PH 7.8
nitrite 0
nitrate 10 ppm
I am dosing the directed amount of Excel daily.
I have a 2 lamp T5 ho with 2 6700 54 watt bulbs. 108 watts total.
Lights on for 8 hrs daily
2 aqua clear 70 hob filters. no carbon. Just sponge and bio media.
78 degrees consistently
Started the tank using Tetra safe start as directed
Also a little seachem stability
Have used Prime regularly. as directed
Any suggestions and comments will be appreciated.
