Wide range PH = 7.4
Ammonia NH3/NH+4 = 0.0

ph is fine
As Jen says your nitrate is a tad too high and may cause a problem to sensitive species

Are clown loach sensitive two of mine are not looking well?

 

[Davo86]

clown loach are fairly sensitive, yes

what size tank is it and how long has it been running for?

 

[mooey65]

150 litres the tank was running for about a year then it was moved and now its been running for 2months.

Assuming your tap water doesn't have nitrate(NO3) in it, just increasing your gravel-clean-water-changes a bit should take care of excess NO3. If you were doing less than 50%, you could just increase it to around that and make sure the gravel clean is pretty thorough. You could do a second one later in the day (should wait at least an hour between water changes.)

Ok thanks for that I have done a water change I will post up a 2nd test soon.

Be sure to follow all the shaking instructions on any nitrate(NO3) test. They are notoriously difficult tests.

[mooey65]

I did do. It says shake for 1 minute only.

That sounds not too bad. The API nitrate test needs a 30sec shake of bottle 2 and then a 1 min shake of the test tube after both sets of test drops have been combined!
