Hi, been having a few problems over the past few days. I have a 94 liter tank with a fluval 305 filter. I have 2 rams, 2 Kribs, 5 neon tetra, 1 Cory and 1 glass catfish. The rams lost their colour a few days ago and both catfish became very weak. So I took a water sample to my local store and they told me that my ammonia readings were higher than they should be so the shop assistant advised me to put ammonia remover and carbon pouches in to my filter. I did this yesterday. Today I bought the API freshwater test kit and have tested PH, Ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels. Here are my results: PH-7.6, ammonia-0, nitrite-0 and nitrate-0. Can anyone give me advise on these results as I think my PH maybe high and I should have higher nitrate levels? Is that correct? My fish have started to perk up a bit this evening so I'm hoping that it was a sudden ammonia surge yesterday and the nitrates will kick in soon? Very worried about my fish as I love having them around :-(
