not sure what this is...new 10g tank in the cycling process, ammonia levels are on the rise, and im doing 20% water changes daily or every other day to keep them down. nitrites and nitrates and barely starting to make their first appearance. i wish i could show more detail, but its just a webcam. up close it looks like lots of little brown dots.

im wondering if this is the bacteria making the nitrites/nitrates? im not sure. wondering if it could be something else or something i should be worried about.
