Hi, sorry, I will introduce myself properly soon,
We had a power cut about 36 hours ago and I suspect the filter may have stopped then, only discovered it an hour ago when I noticed the water was slightly cloudy. I know! I should have noticed sooner.
So I've done a 30% water change then tested the water. I'm horrified to tell you the following
Ammonia 0.6
Nitrite 0.8 (never been that high ever)
Nitrate 10 (a few plants)
P.H 7.5 (hard water area)
It's only a little tank of 60 litres, I've cleaned the filter and impeller and it's now working
When should I do another water change or is the medium in the filter completely knackered. Please advise of next step.
Thank you in advance.
P.S, no fish are dead, all accounted for.
