I do also like the look of the eco-complete, especially when compared with the Fluval stratum. It's much more natural compared with the little round balls. But after some time I am getting used to the Fluval. My pH did drop from 7.5 to 7.0 now that the substrate change is complete. I probably...

Thank you, henningc & jessipanda. Turns out a different LFS carried CPD's, so I picked up 2 females. Unfortunately, they died after about 36hrs :( The store believes my ph (7.5) and nitrates (20-40, hard to read the color chart) are too high. My previous CPD's and Cory seem fine, but I guess the...

CPDs in a Nano tank, dillemma Hello AA, new to the hobby and really enjoying the community here. I fear that I am making a typical rookie mistake and hoping for some advice moving forward. I just finished cycling a Fluval Spec V, planted, and then transferring in my only fish - an albino cory...

Starting to finally make progress. I did 2 additional 40% water changes, and nitrites came down a little bit. Still 5ppm, but not immediately purple when I start the test. Also, I have only been dosing ammonia to 1ppm over the same period. Finally, my nitrates started rising are were 80ppm...

I'm also experiencing a similar situation. I'm on Day 18 of a fishless cycle, and 4ppm of Ammo goes to 0 within 24hrs. But nitrites are stuck at deep purple for about 8 days and nitrates have stayed at 5ppm over the same period. I was expecting nitrates to rise off the charts by now. I tried a...
