Oops ...
I added a whole Plant Care Fizz Tab (http://www.junglelabs.com/pages/details.asp?item=TB610) (intended for 10g) to my 5.5g yesterday :duh:
The only other additives currently is Flourish 1x weekly.
Today the tank is cloudy.
Test readings:
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 20
Previously, all three were zero. The tank is cycled.
Is this a mini-cycle, or just my over-dosing?
My plan is to:
Do 20% water change today
Lightly vacuum gravel substrate (prior to water change)
Float some of the anacharis currently in the substrate (more light = more nutrient absorption)
Repeat water changes and tests 1x dailyuntil water clears
Am I on track or no?
Thanks in advance! :)
