I just cycled a new aquarium and added fish from my old aquarium yesterday after almost 6 weeks of cycling and the nitrite and ammonia levels zero. Out of curiosity I tested the tank for phosphates thinking it would be zero since I’d only just added fish to the tank and they’ve not even been fed yet and my test came out 0.17 ppm is this normal and should I be concerned? I’ve battled with my previous tank and constant algae blooms I dread it happening in a breaks new tank.
I’m running a protein skimmer and have brand new filter socks, I plan to start a refugium with chaeto but wanted the tank to run awhile first.
