Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hello, almost 3 weeks ago i started my cycle with a prawn...
After taking advice from those on the forum, i performed a 20% water change (taking water from the bottom of the tank) last night to try and lower my high nitrate levels... today, my levels are as follows:
PH: 7.8
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0.25
Nitrate: 160
Salt: 1.022
Temp: 25.5C
The only change i can see as a result of the water change is the PH being lowered from 8.2 to 7.8... and my salt level being restored to a better level.
With regards to the nitrate levels... someone please help me lower them.
Many Thanks!
