    Insanely high nitrates!

    I will work on that, thank you! Any tips to get my pH up? I’ve added crushed coral in the past- but it’s low again. I know I’m not overstocked.

    Insanely high nitrates!

    My pH is low, I did check that. And yes, they checked it as well as I. I’m not planning on adding any, I feel horrible that these 2 had to suffer [emoji20] but I never had and reason to think there was a problem.

    Insanely high nitrates!

    Back story- this tank has been up and running for 2 years with the same fish. Water changes 1-2 times a month as needed (have not tested water in about a year due to necessity, everything was fine- not broke don’t fix it right?) Wrong. I added 2 new fish both dead in days. $80 down the drain...

    Help! Angelfish eggs!

    Although I will say the pleco stays low when the light is on- shouldni leave the light on until they spawn or will that just mess up the fish?

    Help! Angelfish eggs!

    There's no way I have the time or the room to set up another tank and get it to where I can move the others into it. I didn't get the angels for breeding I just picked the 2 healthiest looking and a few months later here we are lol.

    Help! Angelfish eggs!

    ETA: there is also a large pleco in this tank- will he eat them or will the angels keep them away?

    Help! Angelfish eggs!

    So I have 2 angels, couldn't figure out why they were being so territorial and aggressively guarding the left side of the tank. Low and behold I spot these tonight. I know NOTHING about this. How long until they turn into fish and what do I do to ensure they all don't get eaten? Help!! I...

    Update: got my reading finally! Time for water changes.

    How to tell if cycled?

    My ammonia level has dropped to .25 no nitrites and nitrates between 5-10ppm. I haven't done a water change in 2 days and my ammonia is going down completely on it's own. I've never had a nitrite reading which is what's confusing me.

    How to tell if cycled?

    My ammonia is at 1.0ppm and I will be doing a water change. This tank has been set up for 1 week but it was used and I used a lot of my existing water (upgraded to a bigger tank.) I've never had a nitrite reading and have been at 5.0ppm nitrates for 3 days now. How do I know when it's cycled and...
