    High nitrates after wc

    I did a 50 water change in my 10 gallon today which was a bit overdue. Cleaned the gravel, not overly, and just rinsed out the filter in the dirty water. Now my water is cloudy and my nitrates are around 20. Ammonia and nitrites are both 0. Should I leave it alone? Add some safe start? Fish...

    Heater

    I have a 5 gallon acrylic and 10g glass tanks. Both have a Tetra 50 watt heater yet the 10 g is warmer. Is this because of the glass? The 5 gallon is around 72/74...I don't think it's warm enough for the Betta that is going to live there but I don't want to overdo it. Also, I already exchanged...

    Adding fish

    When ammonia levels rise due to adding fish should I use something like Ammonia Clear or just keep up with the water changes? Also, should I be using anything other than a decholrinator with my water changes? Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

    Hi!

    Glad to be here as I am fairly new and slightly addicted to fish keeping. Started out with a goldfish for my daughter which I found out quickly was a bad idea. Rehomed Goldie (original, I know) to a lovely fish pond at a local aquarium supply. I now have a 10 gallon half moon tank with a zebra...
