    Tank Crash, Fish Suffocating, Questions!

    I came home today to a bottom dwelling fish desperately hovering at the surface and breathing very deeply.  Apparently my filter had gotten clogged with java moss and was hardly running.  So, I immediately fixed that, and centered my filter so the oxygenation could be distributed more evenly.  I...

    Nitrate Levels Won't Go Down!

    Hi all,   So basically, I've had my tank set up for nearly a year now, and It's been fine for a long time. Recently (about 2 months ago) I noticed that the Nitrate levels were increasing, I increased the number of water changes to twice a week. Now I didn't take a lot of water out the second...

    Cycling After Fish Fail?

    So I had a tank for about a month and 2 weeks ago I began testing the water. I saw that the nitrates were through the roof! So I had been doing water changes everyday of 20% and then eventually to 50%. After I saw no difference, I did an 80% and all the fish died, but anywho...   With a fishless...

    Irritated With Life

    So the nitrite levels are off the chain, and I did my research and found out that I have to do daily water changes until it goes back down. Then I found out each water change is supposed to drop it to zero, and if it doesn't, increase the amount of water change. Well after a week of doing 25%...

    Filter Media Issues?

    Hey, I've had a fish in a bowl for a year or so. Male betta, hardy little bastard. About a month ago I set up at 25gal tank and he's been doing pretty good with the cycle. I'm to the point where I'm waiting for the bacteria that breaks down nitrites to do its job, but its taking a bit longer...

    Worried About High Nitrite Levels...

    I have a 10gal tank that has been cycling with fish for ~4 weeks.  I have 0 ammonium and my pH is generally around 7, though today it was 7.5.  Not worried about that because I'm going brackish soon.  My nitrite has been high for over a week now, though.  It was .75 maybe 5-6 days ago.  Today he...

    Nitrate = 0, Ammonia = 0, Nitrite = 0.25 And Climbing

    Hi Everyone,   Quick question I need some help on.   My tank is 30 days old now and I did a fish-in cycle (not many fish). Ammonia has been zero for 1.5-2 weeks, nitrates have fallen to 0 in the last few days but nitrite continues to climb until I do a partial water change. Usually it gets to...
