Hi all I have had my tank now for a good 6 to 8 weeks, all was well until for some reason the ammoniaia levels went sky high, nothing i did brought them down, not water changes, not adding good bacteria, nothing, then i find out that the carbon in my filter needs to be changed every month, no...

ok thank for your help, i shall do another water change, but not vacume the gravel, i have just read that that may not be the best thing at this point. fingers crossed i dont lose any fish

the levels of ammonia and nitrite havent changes in a week so should i keep doing water changes or wait and see what happens all fish look fine apart from the loach i mentioned

i have had the tank for about 6wks now and all was well when we put the first lot of fish in, i dont have a test for the nitrates so i dont know what that level is but i would assume it should be high as in a 4 foot tank holding about 300 letres i have added 250m of the bio starters

i have used 2 different sorts first one was nitrivet from sera second one was bio booster from aqua master

can anyone please tell me how to get rid of ammonia and nitrite i have done 2 water changes in a week and have been adding a good bacteria bio starter to keep the levels of nitrate up but still cant lower the bad levels ammonia is at 1.2 and nitrite is at 0.1 is this bad or normal also i have a...

thanks, ill try to remember that, and im an aussie

i was at the tank with 3 other adults and we saw the first one die, the second one shot off to the left and we never saw him again, its been 2 days. no kids around, no pets either just weird. just hope it doesnt cause any water problems

took out anything it could hide in, moved all the plants, and look around everything else, not on floor, not in filter, just gone.

the sharks were only about 3 inches long, so still babys to me, and no i searched all around the tank and the filter now i worried that he will cause other problems in my tank, sounds bad, but a dead fish will rot, or will the other fish eat him, i have 2 clown loaches and 2 pearl gourami

just wondering, if you were to do nothing to the water in a 4foot tank, something like 300lt, put in about 4 to 6 fish, how long would it take for the ammonia and nitrite levels to rise. im new to all this and am just worried about not knowing weather i have enough good bacteria in the tank...

Thanks everyone for your help, but too late tho, i did do everything right with the water change, all tests were normal, i think it was just too much shock and they were just getting over white spot aswell, i thought they were better but i guess not anyway thanks again
