I have a heavily planted tank, which is giving the following readings:
pH 7.0
KH 40
GH 5
ammonia 0
nitrite 0
nitrate 0
phosphate 0
None of the tests are old, and appear to work fine since my other tank gives a nitrate reading
I admit i've been busy/lazy, and haven't done a water change in about a month, yet everything i'm able to test for is looking good
Since i've always had the impression that the main purpose of water changes was to dilute nitrate levels, i've been searching the net (without success) to find out whether there are any other toxins that could build up in the water over time. Any ideas?
