Hey guys. I've got a newly set up nature scaped aquarium going on for about 2 weeks, ammonia is now gone, nitrite is showing at around 2.0ppm. I haven't tested nitrate yet as I figured you need to wait for nitrite to be 0ppm or so before it's relevant to test for nitrate.
I am using the master test kit from api, ammonia is yellow coloured, nitrite is deep pink if that helps.
Anyway. I have a 200L 100cm wide 45cm deep and 50cm tall tank, heavily planted with ada aqua soil and power sand base.
I'm starting to fight algae quite a bit now, and would love the help of amano shrimp and otocinclus right about now, is it safe?
How many should I add? I was thinking 15? And like 8 otocinclus.
Please advise... Thanks.
