Aquarium Advice FINatic
Ok I got my nitrate and phosphate test kits in today. Nitrate was at 40 ppm so I'm doing a water change tonight to try and get that down a bit. Phosphates were at 0.0 so I think I found the nutrient that was missing . Also I said in a previous thread that my ph was never lower than 7.6, well I tested yesturday and it tested at 6.8. Using chucks planted aquarium calculator it said co2 levels were very high at 37 ppm. I did not see fish at the surface gasping for air but what is the best course of action when co2 levels are too high? Water change maybe? This is a DIY setup BTW.
