I think so.

I left Monday afternoon for my trip & Monday morning I got my first Nitrate reading - a 5ppm.

And since Nitrates come AFTER ammonia and nitrites - I think I might be done. Am I missing anything - or would you assume so too?

I would never assume anything, as doing that has a tendancy of it comming back and bitting you on the arse, i woulds just keep an eye on all water stats for a bit longer Very Happy

As I'm out of town, I have a friend watching the water quality for me daily. Still testing great!!!

How long would you be watchful considering all the seeded stuff? Two weeks? Three? I know a good seeded tank doesn't (most of the time) take six. I'm approaching two already.

My personal oppinion ? I would give it another month, if you have no problems after that then i would not expect you to have any full stop Very Happy

But thats just me. remember i test my water every week anyways. (read my sig!)
