Wait a minute... I measured the water parameters, and it just CANNOT be that NO3 are down to less than 10 mg/l: the tap water contains almost 40! Then I recalled that the reagents of the test for NO2 and NO3 do have an expiration date: and that passed LONG AGO! Fortunately I have another package I bought time ago. Results: around 75 mg/l! Good enough that the bacteria are doing their dirty job, and NO2 are still at 0 mg/l.
Here's the idea: I'm starting my very first aquarium, and I thought it may be cool to record what I do, for my own and perhaps someone else's use: so that we can all learn from MY OWN mistakes! Everybody's welcome to comment, or give suggestions (particularly useful if they come before it's too late...!). Let's see if it makes any sense, and if I'll ever have the strength and time to really do this. Cheers!
