Great! Thanks so much for the help. :)

Thanks so much. Will adjust flow & up the PWC for a while. :)

Nitrates when tested before last water change were like 60. Overfeeding maybe? Feed daily, could try every other day.

And it will go away on its own? It's been there a few weeks and I clean it with PWC. Think I'm going to switch to live plants anyway. Like the look of them better. Any ideas on the nitrates getting high? Will live plants help this without chemicals?

Can you tell from this?

Here is where I answered questions asked. Let me see if I can get a pic.

Ammonia is always at 0 as well as nitrites. Nitrates haven got up to about 80 before water change. PWC 30% weekly. Not sure why this is. Lights are LED strip but I'm not sure on wattage. They are on about 10 hrs a day while I'm at work & then I switch it to the blue lights for night for hour or...

Do u know if those are ok with what I have?

I have a 65g tank that's been set up about 3 months. I had a 75g b4 this & it started leaking so we transferred everything, a lot of the water too, to this new one. The old tank was established and set up for about 4 months. Same filters from old into new and everything. I have something brown...

I was always told below 40 was ok? Maybe I need to do bigger changes weekly. I usually just do 20-25% weekly. I will start doing larger changes & see if it helps nitrate.

That's good to hear! I will look into rams. Thanks for the suggestion. Also it is not a planted tank. Here is a pic.

Usually oh 7.6 nitrates 0 nitrites 40. It's a bristlenose pleco is all I know. The Molly's I'm not sure really. I have one that's bigger than the rest & I think he chases them. I have one now with a bad looking tail fin. They never appear sick & it's always one at a time. When check water levels...

Thanks. Don't they need a more neutral ph? Mine tends to run around 7.6.

I have 3 freshwater angel fish in a 60g tank. They are the small angels and are only about 4 inches maybe 5 from fin to fin. I also have a pleco & 3 neons. My mollies are all dying off & I don't know what to put in with the angels. Anyone have suggestion?

Great! Thanks so much.
