The tank has 0 nitrites. It's my tap water that has the nitrites. The tank is fully cycled it's been up and running for about a year. I am also thinking of not getting any kuli loaches and just stocking up on shrimp some red cherry, blue, and yellows that I just found. I'm not going with the...

I have a 45 gallon corner tank with I believe a fluval 204. It been up and running for over a year. Current occupants are 3 guppies and 3 glow light tetras. My tank perameters are: Tap- ammonia 1, ph 8, gh 214.8 ppm, kh 107.4 ppm, nitrite 5, nitrate 10. Tank- ammonia 0, ph 7.5, gh 143.2, kh...

My ammonia has finally dropped down to 2.0, and my nitrates have dropped also. I'm going to be getting a KH and GH test also.

I might have totally messed up my tank. My LFS told me to buy some tap water conditioner so I did, and they told me to rinse out my filter, should have asked here first, but didn't. Possibly worst mistake on my part. So when I go and hook my filter back up after I rinse it off because it had...

I have a LFS that said they would let me exchange it for something else, which I will be doing. My PH is right where I want/need it for the type of fish I hope to eventually get once my tank gets squared away. Since my tap PH is so high won't that change the Ph in the tank?

I've had it set up for about six months now. I had no fish in it for three months. Then I got a couple fish and a sucker fish, then a dozen guppies. The guppies died first but not before having babies. Then went my sucker, then one gourami and a month later my other gourami. Then two almost...

I got one of those master freshwater test kits and tested my tank water results are as follows: PH: 6-6.4 Nitrite: 0 Ammonia: crazy high 7 Nitrate: 10 I double checked all the tests to make sure I was reading the proper ones. What do I need to do now to get the ammonia to drop? And I guess my...

45 gallon corner tank with a fluval filter.

and if not why? I'm looking to get some Glo-light tetras, Cherry Barbs, Glow light danios, redstripe rasbora, red cherry shrimp, red crystal shrimp, lake inle danio, blue ram, upside down catfish, dwarf gourami, and lemon tetra. Any input is helpful. Thank You
