Okay, so here's the story!
Okay, so I was setting up one of my 10 gallons to breed zebra danios in, so I was rinsing some marbles with hot tap water in a strainer. Those marbles were fairly clean, but I didn't have enough, so I grabbed some marbles from my brother's room, and began rinsing those. There was all kinds of junk with those marbles, because they were in a container with pens and pencils. I took everything out that I found, (everything from paper to a couple old goldfish flakes
) or so I thought.
As I started putting the marbles in the aquarium, I noticed that the water left over from the marbles was pink!
I then realized that pencil crayon leds were in my brother's bucket, and I didn't notice them when I was rinsing the marbles, so now all the marbles are in my tank, probably with some pencil crayon led, and I'm not sure if this is going to harm my fish!
Will carbon take the pencil crayon residue out of the tank? I'm really not sure....
Here are the water stats:
ammonia: 0ppm
nitrite: 0ppm
nitrate: 15ppm
ph: 7.5
temp: 78F
Thanks in advance for any help!
BTW, I did a 25% water change before putting the marbles in, so I'm not sure if I should do another one....?
