Just wanted to post my test results here. I noticed a small spike in ammonia and nitrates the past few days. ammonia about .08/day increase and Nitrate about .20/day increase. I did change 15 gallons two days ago and they have not gone up at all. Just a bit worried here, heading out of town tomorrow through Monday.

Phos is .06 PPM.

A 3 month old tank with rock and sand will not have an ammonia issue unless something big dies. It is prob a test variance.

it’s weird since it slowly crept and i tested twice today same result. I even checked it with the cheap API test to compare snd seems like it’s picking up some. Nothing is dead, I see entire clean up crew relocating constantly. I use Hanna testers. the rock was all live as well.
if there is an issue, i’m afraid i’m going to come home to a mess :oops:
 
The bacteria in your tank will grow to meet the need.
