Okay...not what I need right now with the new babies coming...lol!
I just did my water test:
Ph = 7.6
Ammonia = .25 ( never happened to me before..)
Nitrites = .25
Nitrates = 10
I need to know exactly what this means please. Did the two readings spike because the water is so funky?? I feel like lousy a fish owner! I have never had readings like this guys! And the readings were all 0 , 24 hours ago~
My readings on all my tanks have never been this...So, I'm guessing that I need to do a wc real quick? I just got off the phone with Dan, and I am the only one that has not gotten her fish yet! So, I am waiting for the doorbell as I speak...I can not answer every post right now, but I will as soon as I get these discus in their tank....
The babies in this tank are all acting fine....Is this real serious? I feed them, bh, flake, cbw, and color bits....I have no driftwood...and I am waiting for my Hydro Sponges...
I might have cleaned my filter too well....I do not do it often tho...
El, when I feed the babies, I do not give them more, til they eat every single bit! So there isnt any left over... And you think I should put more stuff in my filters?
Ron... I just heard good things about you!! umm....you were right about the readings....but they have never been this, and the tank has always been cloudy! I think Barb is right ...a voodoo tank! lol!
I initially cycled this tank, 6 weeks ago, by adding sponges from other tanks, and some of their water as well, I think...also, Cliff gave us some of his sponges to bring home...It has been cloudy from day one, but never this bad. The tank was crystal clear for a week, waiting for the babies, if that helps~
The temp is 86.7. always...even after wc....from the tap.
Okay... I shall be back cuz I hear a truck!!
Thanks guys, looks like I have all the experts helping....but I think I may have to juss deal ~
