just done a water check and found that the nitrate has soured
amonia has dropped 50%
ph is stable at 8
nitrite has dropped to 0.5

why why why has the nitrate soured so high its more than 4x yesterday at the same time of day
i havnt over fed as there is nothing in the tank to feed
is this normal for cycling or is it becouse of the diatom algae thats now graced the tank ??????????????????????????????
