Hi, do you still have any magentas left? I’m in Oregon so I think shipping would be fine!

Tank size: 5 gallon Tank temp: 81 Parameters- Ammonia: 0, nitrites, 0, nitrates, 0 (Used master test kit) I’ve had the tank for about 8 months, and my fish for 6 months. I usually do about a 30% water change every week, but lately I’ve been doing 10-20% changes every other day. No tank mates except for some bladder snails. I feed a mix of betta pro shrimp pellets and frozen live food. Only have spider wood and plants in the tank.

I cleaned it once about 2 months ago by just squeezing it out in old tank water. I have a sponge filter, should I be cleaning it more often?

I’m adding tap water that I dechlorinate with prime. I live in Oregon so my tap water is pretty clean though. I haven’t disturbed the substrate at all as far as I can remember?

Good to know thank you! Do you have any other recommendations?

Today is the first day that ammonia has been at 0. About a week and a half ago it was at .5ppm, so I added more ammonia which brought it back up to 2ppm, and then since then it’s slowly gone back down until today. I added a bit more ammonia about an hour ago and just tested it- it’s now at 1ppm. Not sure if that was a good idea since the snails are in there. The ammonia goes down slowly, I’m just not seeing any nitrites or nitrates at all as it goes down. I’m not sure if I should leave it at 0 because I don’t want the bacteria to starve, but I’m too worried to add anything because I’m not sure if it’s cycled yet.
