I’ve been advised to make a new thread for my tank so here goes. It’s a 15 gallon vertical tank with a 100w heater, a Aqueon Quietflow LED pro power filter 10(100gph), and a bubble ring powered by a tetra whisper air pump. This tank has been running since 1/28/2021. I am already too late for a fishless cycle so I’ve been learning the hard way.
First week of being running 1 fish died. By 2/11/2021 10 fish in total have died. It is currently stocked with plastic plants, silk plants, real plants, an acrylic hide, sand and gravel mixed substrate. 2 dwarf honey gourami and 3 adult glofish long fin tetras(in red). I’m testing the water twice daily and doing water changes when my test says to do such.
The last test strip revealed gh(250) no3(50) no2(5) cl2(0) kh(80) ph(6.8) ammo(0.5) I know this means a water changed I’ve done three today(40%, 40%, 10-15%) and a vacuum of a third of the substrate. I’ve decided to stop feeding my fish for a few days. What else can I do?
