Just over five weeks in... My ammo is almost zero. My NO3 seems to be dropping faster than my NO2. Is this normal? Expected? Concerns?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Another cycle question:
- Thread starter SpongeBob
- Start date
Very interesting question!
Quite a bit -- mostly on the live rock. The diatoms are about gone but the green stuff is quite plentiful!
So... why do you ask?

algae consumes NO3, but nothing consumes NO2 other than bacteria.
Likely the algae is the cause for the NO3 dropping so suddenly. the NO3 converting bacteria in the LR and DSB take quite a while to build up.
