Just tested my tank using Mardel 5 in 1 Test strips and a lil ammonia kit:
PH: 7.6
Alkalinity: 180 ppm
Hardness: 120 ppm
Nitrite: 0 ppm
Nitrate: 40 ppm
Ammonia: 0 ppm

These values ok for a freshwater community tank?

Hi.
Your nitrates are a bit on the high side, but nothing a few more water changes won't cure.
