Hi all,
I cycled my tank over the span of a month and purchased my first fish (12 rummynose tetras). I acclimated them slowly over a 2 hour period and 7 have already died over the past 3 days. No idea what I'm doing wrong, but seems like cycling was a waste of time.
72g bowfront
2x fluval 406 filters
2x heaters
Ammonia = 0ppm
Nitrites = 0ppm
Nitrates = 30ppm
Ph = 7.6
Kh = took one drop to turn blue
Gh = took 4 drops to turn green
Water temp = 81 degrees
What else could be wrong with the tank?
