I'm writing this for my friend who does not have high speed internet connections. He has a 125 gallon tank with some barbs, an arowana, a datnioid, geophagus and a couple of others. Already he had to replace all the fish as they died with a very high nitrate level. Filtration is quite adequate with both underground and out of tank filters. The nitrate level keeps going up despite water changes twice a week. Feeding is with goldfish and some shrimp which disappear immediately. What could be the source of the nitrate and what to do?
