Hi x can anyone help with my tank please? Can you tell if it looks ready? My ammonia 0, nitrites turn pink when first tested but clear before the 2 minutes time set by the instructions, nitrates 0.

How old is this tank? Looks like there's some cyano bacteria growing in there? What's the stocry on the set up?
Which test kit are you using for testing your water?
I use the API fresh water one but I also have the salt water one x
Vorteil the tank is nearly 5 weeks old. I have lava rock and lava substrate topped with crushed coral, Brackish salts and RO water. I use a single sponge filter and sochting oxygenator and there's 2 nerite snail and some MTS. Temperature 24
If you have tested the water and the snails are ok I’d have a guess and say it’s ready.
Brackish salts? You should be using a marine salt. There is a huge difference between the two. Do not use brackish salt. You have some slime algae in there you need to address. It will continue to spread all over your tank.
