Thanks for the detailed reply. I should have mentioned that I also used BioMature in combination with BacterLife to cycle my tank. I did cycle for 1 month without fish, until zero ammonia and nitrite readings were achieved. I then added 3 danios. Waited several weeks before adding the...

First of all, hello from Scotland! I have a 30L Biorb and had it set up for about 3 months now. I initially had 3 leopard danios then added a betta splenden (male). I did a fishless cycle with Bacterlife and all my properties were good until last week when all my danios died. I checked the pH...
