I might be wrong on the nitrate levels - certainly it was in the lowest colour bar of the test other than zero. I've been doing about a 10-15% change so I guess it might just not be establised properly to cope with the extra fish. Probably my over-zealous rinsing of the filters hasn't helped...

I'm guessing the first just didn't like the new tank. The second was two weeks later, though, so it must've been a waste issue. The dealer's point was that since ammonia goes to nitrite, knowing the nitrite levels is enough. Though I guess I've currently no way to check that process is working...

I don't have an ammonia test kit. I was told that the nitrite/nitrate/pH would be enough. Should I get one? And if ammonia is high, is a big water change the answer? We did introduce them slowly, as you say. Sadly, we don't have (or have room for) a quarantine tank and the extra pump and...

Sera liquid test kits. Oh, and thanks for the welcome and the advice!

Nitrite is zero Nitrate is in the 50ppm band (I think - it's the lowest the test detects apart from 0) pH I have had a bit of trouble with as we're in a hard water area so out of the tap it's 8. In the tank it crept up to 7.5 but is back again and I'm trying to keep an eye on it and it seems to...
