I have a 55gal planted fresh tank. I have a Eheim Eco canister filter for 80 gal. I currently have 6 Angel Fish and 6 Cory 2 Oto. lost 4 Denison Barb I ran out of flake food and was feeding Freeze dried Brine shrimp. I noticed the water looked cloudy so I checked the parameters and I had an ammonia spike. I figured out the brine shrimp clogged the filter. I did a 50% water change and changed the filter pads. My tank started to cycle all over again now a week later and the water is cloudy again and I noticed all my plants are dying. turning yellow and brown. Amazon swards, Anubis Dwarf hair grass. My parameters prior to this problem was like this Ph 7.4 Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 0. Now they read
ph 6.5
Ammonia 4.0
Nitrite .25
Nitrate 5.0
I went to Petsmart because it was the closest place. The guy sold me Prime said it was better than API Ammo lock because it fixes ammonia Nitrates and Nitrites. I just dosed my tank with it but I need help figuring out how to help my tank plants,fish and all. Thanks for any advice you can give!
