Thanks Sweetsuvvyb :) The chemistry info you're providing on this site is great. At least I feel better about the nitrite readings now. Trying to be patient but its hard looking at those fish. They're not doing well. Why aren't you suppose to change out more than 50% of the water? Is it...

Well, now I'm really frustrated :? I did a 2 gallon exchange on my 6 gallon tank today and in the bucket I treated the new water for chlorine and then added a tablespoon of Red Sea salt. I added this back into the tank and checked 3 times today for nitrites. Each time it was the same as...

Thanks for the advice. I ended up buying the python vac. It's great because you don't have to pump up and down to get the siphon working - that was scaring the heck out of my fish. (Or suck tank water - yuck!) :)

The guy at the lfs reccommended the larger pebbles for my 6 gallon. But now the regular self-starting vaccums won't pull up the pebbles to get at the waste. I really don't want to change the pebbles out at this point. Any reccomendations on brands and types of vaccums to purchase that can help...

Thanks for the advice Allivymar and Adcisco :D I'll try the salt first thing tommorrow. I just checked the ammonia levels and it seems to be between .25 and .50. It appears to be a pale yellow but it's hard to tell because it has so many particles of grey matter floating in the test tube...

Help! I have had a 6 gallon tank for 12 days now. The nitrite levels were really high so I did a 25% water change. Tested again and the nitrite levels were less but still high. So I did another 25% water change. Heard you are not supposed to do more than 50% water change. The fish are still...
