I just tested my water and this was the result.
NO3 - 80 mg/l
NO2 - 3 mg/l
pH - 7
KH - 120 mg/l
GH - 180 mg/l
I have a 20H with live plants.
Currently in the tank -
1 - Dwarf Gourami
4 - Blood Fin Tetras
1 - Sword tail
1 - kuhli loach
and a lot of Amazon Swords.
I think the problem is my HOB filter. It was nasty so I was soaking it in the water that I did a water change with and it's still filthy. I haven't replaced the thing since I started my aquarium about 8 weeks ago. I have a sponge filter going in there right now and turned off the HOB.
I just did a water change yesterday.
I haven't added any plants (I was about to) in a while or fish in a while. Fish don't seem stressed at all. Dwarf Gourami is still doing his thing bossing everybody around like he has been for awhile. Tetras are still extremely active. Sword tail is eating algae off plants. Everybody seems normal. I haven't had water problems up til this point.
