Back story- this tank has been up and running for 2 years with the same fish. Water changes 1-2 times a month as needed (have not tested water in about a year due to necessity, everything was fine- not broke don’t fix it right?) Wrong. I added 2 new fish both dead in days. $80 down the drain, because my nitrates are greater than 160ppm!!! What the heck?! How are my current cichlids (4) and 2 plecos thriving and growing with no problems?! I’m at a loss, how does one fix this issue? Nitrites are 0- my pH is low however up one checking it last night, light yellow on the color chart for API test kit. Help!
