Nitrogen Cycle

The "Nitrogen Cycle" includes Ammonia, Nitrite, and Nitrate. Ammonia breaks down to Nitrite and eventually becomes Nitrate. It is critical to do regular water changes to ensure a healthy aquarium.

When maintaining an aquarium (fresh or salt water), the water conditions must be right for the fish. Aqua-Man’s Tank Cleaning Service will test the water before and after the cleaning. Below, you will find a few things we test to ensure a healthy aquarium.

Recommended levels for fresh and brackish water aquariums:

  • Ammonia should be 0 ppm for all fish.
  • Nitrite should be 0 ppm for all fish.
  • GH for community fish should be 4-10 dGH
  • GH for Livebearers/Barbs should be 6-15 dGH
  • GH for African Cichlids should be 10+ dGH
  • KH for community fish should be 3-6 dKH
  • KH for Livebearers/Barbs should be 4-15 dKH
  • KH for for African Cichlids should be 10+ dKH

  • pH for African Cichlids should be 8.0-9.0

These are the recommended levels for Reef and Fish Only aquariums:
