What about the temperature ? 30 degree isn't to high ?

The best water quality to keep them - any suggestion ?

Hi :-) Probably ur ammonia is so high cause the ph too low :-/ I had similar problem : API test showed pH 6 but I checked it with digital one and the result was 5.2 :-( Ammonia going up when pH going down - but in pH lower than 7 the ammonia isn't toxic so keep changing water and check ur...

Hi how to know when the cartridges fall apart ? Then the ammonia and other staff will go totally up?

10 h even more :-)

I was feeding 2 cubes in am and 3 cubes at night with sow algae sheets hanging in tank... Why u feeding ur fish at night time ?

.. Light more than 10 hours in tank should be more welcome :-) With feeding - Mature fish 2-3 times a day Youngish 3-4 times a day But the most important - the food should be gone in a few minutes ;-)

I've got similar problem - ammonia and nitrite (NO2) but with more oxygen in the tank and daily water changing the problem is gone (NO2 been longer than ammonia)

Hi :-) I using RO water which is pH 6.4 and KH3 and GH5 Conductivity is about 80 Something in the tank makes the water softer :-/ A few days ago u put shells into filter So now the pH from 5,4 goes up to 6.2 KH from 1 goes to 2 GH from 4 goes to 8 and conductivity (all minerals together)...

How is the pH ?

I using RO conditioner and Discus Trace

I got a big barrel out side home :-)

I used buffer more than year ago and for sure don't wanna use it any more until will know can't find and different way to set up all chemistry of water. That's my new tank - started near 3 months ago. After first feel up the ph was going up from 6,4 r/o water to above 9. It's makes me mad...

Yes I'm agree with the buffer but I need to find a natural way to keep the ph stable without chemicals - better for fish and plants :-)

How is the pH in the tank ? If it's below 7 then the ammonia is not toxic :-)
