My Nitrates are rising. I think this is because I have added livestock too quickly. I know the bacteria is present to reduce nitrates because I measured them falling towards the end of my cycle. Therefore I plan to measure more often and maintain my water change schedule unless Nitrates rise above 50 which will require a 50 -60 % change. No more livestock until the nitrates begin to fall on their own.
