So I'm finally starting to get my tank together! Today I got the live rock and kinda put everything together. I also used my test kit just to see where I stand. I assumed everything would be at 0, but it wasn't? Ammonia was at 0.25 ppm, Nitrite was at 0 ppm, and Nitrate was above 0, but not quite at 5 ppm. Is this because something on the rock could have died? My pH was also at about 7.9-8.0. Is there any way to raise this a bit?
You can't see anything yet, because the water is still clouded, but this is the tank:
I was also startled by this when I was trying to arrange my rocks. What exactly is this? I'm sure it will probably not survive, :-? but I can hope!
Thanks!
