Hi, I have a tank that I thought was cycled, and I know it’s a constant process, however I can’t seem to get my ammonia down to zero. There are currently no creatures in my aquarium other than plants and a ton of brown algae. My levels for the past two weeks have held steady around
PH : 7.4-7.6
Ammonia : 0 -.25
Nitrite : 0
Nitrate : 5 - 10
Other notes about aquarium:
50 gallon filled, 70 gallon aqua clear filter, temp stays at 60*F, aqueon LED light runs 10 hours daily, 2 Anubis and 2 Java ferns.
I am hoping at some point the healthy green algae would start to grow and replace the brown algae but it’s not changing. Am I being impatient? My poor Axolotl are living in tubs while I wait for the tank. Is there anything I can do?
