I am going to do a 20% water change to keep the kh up so do i add ammonia or do i stick to my routine ammonia 8pm test 8am

My tank update ammonia 0mg/l in less than six hours nitrite 0mg/l in less than fifteen hours didnt test at 12 hrs as i was at work nitrate 40mg/l gh 11 kh 8 Looks like im getting there :good:

I think i may of came across why my cycle has stalled a bit .When i bought my fluval filter it had no instructions and i had read a topic started by LOSING NEMO who has a fluval 2 filter and someone had told him on the forum that the fluval 2 filter has a clogging indicator on it and when it...

my filter is a fluval 2 plus which has 2 foam filter pads and a finer polyester filter pad in it In the tank is a small piece of bogwood 2 rein ornamants plastic plants and a playsand substrate and a small what seems to be ceramic barrel ornament.-

could i do small water changes to keep the kh up.I may even leave getting fish to wednesday.

I topped it up to 5ppm so come 8am tomorrow if its at 0.25ppm or less i think i will do a large water change and go get some zebra danios to give my son something to look and i can get a break from all the when we getting fish questions LOL. My kh has dropped from 10 to eight in the last 2 days...

Ok did an almost 100% water change at 8.00pm tested at 8.00am ph 8.0 was 7.8 before i did the water change ammonia 0mg/l in less than 8 hours will top up at 8.00pm nitrite 0.50mg/l hopefully getting there but ive been here before and it has stuck for weeks on end nitrates 40mg/l same as tap...

Thankyou so much MISSWIGGLE for your help i had been hoping you would give me some pointers as you seem to type alot LOL. So come 8pm i will do a large water change and charge it up t0 2,5ppm and see what happens.HERES BLOODY HOPING :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks:

my LFS are at a loss to whats happening with my tank they told me to lower the ammonia to maybe 3ppm because they said that 5ppm is recomended for your tank only if your considering fully loading your tank but 3ppm would be ok if i was going to add 6 danios of some sort or 4-6 black skirt tetras...

Its really starting to get me down the tank was for my sons birthday that was three weeks ago he has got to a stage that he thinks i dont want to get him fish. :(

after 12 hrs nitrite is 0.50ppm and sometimes its at 1.0 ppm kh 5 it gets lower each day so i do a large water change when it gets close to 0 and ph 7.8
