There are two fairly powerful internal filters / pumps that work well. I also have a 6inch airstone fed from a Reno pump going all of the time. All of the fish look normal, nothing untowards.

My tank would get about an hour of sun a day - or else it would if I did not angle the blinds to minimise the sun impact. Ammonia = 0 Nitrites = 0 Nitrates = 10 ppm ph = 7.0 to 7.2 (which is my norm). results from API test kit. Tank has been pretty static at these levels for many weeks. Only...

You may be right but any reason to believe it happened that way? They seemed fine last night, feeding well and also quite lively. Gone this morning! A couple of the black neons look fatter today!! Cheers, Keith

waterdrop, thanks for your response. I more or less repeated the cycling. The ammonia dropped in a couple of days and the nitrites spiked and have now dropped to zero again. However, the ammonia has crept back up to about 2 ppm. More or less where I was before!! The Ph has dropped from 7.5 ish...
