It's been weeks........ Always 0 nitrites and .5 ammonia - 50% water changes every day.... I have a water softener in my house - does this change things? Thanks

thank you*

Ok - you're losing me....... between this website and goldfish keepers website I have multiple people telling me to do different things. ok - you mentioned you cycled 100s of tanks so tell me what to do now please*:flowers: 1.) this mornings readings are: PH 8.0 Ammonia .5 Nitrite 0 Nitrate...

PH is 7.8 Ammonia 0.25 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 7.0 yay - getting better*:fish2::fish2:

ok thanks*

I left my results from last night in the test tubes and it changed...... is it because it's old or did I not wait long enough to read results last night? Now they are..... PH - 7.4 Ammonia is pretty much - 0 (yellowish) Nitrite -0 Nitrate - 5.0

Oh boy - so much different advice....... ok so water change less in order to give the tank the opportunity to grow bacteria??? I was doing daily 50% adding Prime, Stress Coat and Quick Start for the past few days - equal to the amount I changed out. Is this right???? Also, I left my results...

Oh theres hope* - Is that the same as quick start API? - thats what I have ... i started yesterday i'm about to put another dose in now ( i just finished another 50% change)

Ok - i looked up these water changers..... not bad in price so which is the best and why? aqueon or python? thanks

I have an XL chocolate oranda and a medium red fantail goldfish I'm feeding small feeding throughout the day of flakes, hikari frozen bloodworms and frozen daphnia and shelled peas. How much of each do I give and how often? thanks

Oh my goodness!!!!!!!!! that is not the response I was hoping to hear :banghead: I also just found out our town water is chloramine (a combination of ammonia and chlorine) and on January 22nd they are switching to free chlorine. Which will give the chlorine smell. What will this do? and is...

We don't know anyone with a tank ..... and I also just found out our town water is chloramine (a combination of ammonia and chlorine) and on January 22nd they are switching to free chlorine. Which will give the chlorine smell. What will this do? and is this why I have ammonia? Thanks

thanks* I received 2 fancy goldfish as a gift (XL chocolate oranda and a medium red fantail) unlike most I think fancy goldfish are beautiful with their long flowing tails - I am doing an In-fish cycle not by choice - it's just how it had to be.... I'll feel terrible if they die because of me...

Ok thanks - I'll start one now. I also just read that my towns water is treated with chloramine (a combination of ammonia and chlorine) but on January 22nd they are switching to free chlorine. Which will have that chlorine smell. What will this do? and what should I do? Is this why I have...

So how do I get my ammonia down - 50% water changes every day or twice a day?

I have the prime..... I'll just keep changing - how long is this going to last?

So am I doing the right thing??? - should I do another tomorrow morn and another after lunch?

I am sooo sick of doing these 50% water changes in my 55 gallon tank. I am doing a fish-in cycle (not by choice - long story) It's been a week and first 4 days my tank also had a ich treatment with API super ich cure. I've been doing 50% water changes ever since about 1 a day. I added quick...

we're in the same boat - 3 years and 6 months**** we were given these fish as a present for my son and i had no idea how difficult fish are .... now it's my obsession to make these darn fishies healthy - :facepalm: This also doesn't seem like a very environmentally friendly hobby - so much...

ok my ph is high so i use the ph high test and its about an 8.0 and i have fancy goldfish. The kit says goldfish thrive at 7.5 - what should I do? My ammonia is .5 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 10

I have a 55 gallon - so these water changes and killing me! back and forth with these buckets! ugh*:facepalm:

like quick zyme? should i use that?

ha! - I'm hanging in there :eek: - I wish I still had a 10 gallon now....haha - anyways so i guess after I check levels I'll decide then if I should do another change - right? Or should I just do one later tonight again?
