Thank you for the great post and info. Will start with water changing tomorrow. I do wash the filter in tank water.....Fluval 4 I believe the pump/filter is I'll also restock my test set....all they had were strips at the time

Results from test strips. GH 180 :( KH 0 PH 6.5 NO2 5 NO3 160 :( Temp is near 26 degrees What is a good product, or course of action to get the Nitrates down and GH? As I mentioned, I have been using the "purified" water from the store........no tap water in the last few weeks Thanks

Yes, tanks....tank is 4 feet long

Thanks....yes, rank is 4ft in length

I'll be able to check levels when home later on. Unfortunately I only have test strips at the moment. I would have thought the 41 gal ( equiv to 50 small US gals ) would be large enough. The Jewel cichlids are only about 4" (largest) Thanks for all input

No symptoms really, they just end up floating. I've had the jewels on there for some time now. I've observed them at length. They seem to leave everyone alone...except themselves ocassionaly I'll check on those levels later

I've had a 41 gallon tank for about 20 yrs now. Typically I have angels, Guaramis, jewel cichlids etc. Over the past few months, my Nitrates are high.... I've done regular partial water changes. Finding that my local water is very hard....I've been using "purified" water from the local grocery...
