Hi
I got a 20 litre tank that i'm currently using as a rearing tank for guppy fry, it has no gravel or ornaments just some floating plants and has a bio-foam filter in it but my water parametres have gone hye wire!!!!
my nitrite level is 2.0 mg/litre and only reaches 0.25mg/litre after a 50% water change my Ammonnia is currently at 0.4mg/litre.
I've been adding a culture to the water (King British Safe Water) which has natural bacteria in it, but i can only add it once a week
So tried bio-start culture instead but that aint working either.
So what am i doing wrong?
If i changed 80% of the water the readings go to safe zones but after two days it's back up to critical.
I've added aqualibrum salt to the water to reduce the toxic affect on the fish.
Am really worried.
HELP
