Hi,
I have a 60 gallon Freshwater tank that ive had for a few years now. Recently I decided I wanted to make it a discus tank so I gave away 3 of my fish to my sister and 1 of my fish (angelfish) had dropsy and died last week. That being said, my tank has been running with no fish and no food for a couple of weeks or so.
I'm planning on putting discus in very soon.
Did I just kill off all my beneficial bacteria? and have to recycle my tank again? I'm hoping not.
FYI,
Last I checked, my water was at 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, and about 10ppm nitrate if that makes a difference
thanks,
-Jeremy M
