Hi all, please see the attached picture of my "numbers" - zero to maybe 0.15 for ammonia, nitrites are zero.
I've got three live plants in this tank, two large veil tail goodies (4" inches nose to anus) who have voracious appetites. Two snails, (one about the size of a grape, one smaller).
They get blood worms, green peas, spinach, occasionally a packaged moist food called "New Era". I feed once/day, in the AM. Occasionally, I'll feed a small morning feeding, and another meal in the evening.
I condition 33% weekly WCs with Prime, I have a healthy-sized ammo-carb pouch in my Fluval 206. Water temps are 79° F — gradually climbing as Las Vegas is now hitting our summer triple-digit temps. pH is about 7.7-7.8.
Any suggestions as to what has caused the nitrates to steadily climb over the past 3 weeks, to the point now where they're dangerously high?
Any help/suggestions would be seriously welcomed and appreciated.
Thanks,
MM007
