200L tank
3 goldfish
pH - 6.0
Nitrate - 5ppm
Nitrite - 0ppm
Ammonia - 0.50ppm
Hi guys, my pH has been sitting at 6.0 for a couple of weeks now, and my pleco has died since.
I’ve done a couple of 50% water changes, added pH up, added a pH raiser block, removed driftwood, tank is super clean, but the pH still isn’t budging. I’ve also removed the few plants I had in there (which the goldfish ate most of anyway).
I’m afraid I’ve also crashed my cycle as my nitrate (which is usually high) is almost non-existent but my ammonia has been switching between 0.50ppm to 1.0ppm in this time.
Should I go an buy some coral substrate? Any advice would be appreciated.
