My 10g guppy tank is in horrible shape. I have an Ich problem that I started treatment with Ich-Attack about a week and a half ago. I removed the carbon from the filter as instructed, and now I have a horrific algea bloom, my guppies are not getting any better(not getting any worse either), and things just look disgusting in general. I am thinking at this point about euthanising the guppies, cleaning and recycling the tank, and QT'ing the cories, which show no signs of the ich. For the qt, I was planning on using the same filter, taking a bit of gravel from my established 30g, using water from my 30g, and utilizing the filter media from my secondary filter on my 30g. Is this a feasable game plan, or do you think my guppies will still recover even after all this time?
Just tested the water, and the readings are astronomically bad.
Nitrate:80ppm
Nitrite:way off the chart
GH:75
chlorine:0
KH:40
PH:6.5
I have never seen a nitrite reading that high, even when cycling my tanks. This is actually very embarrassing that it got this bad. I just did a PWC 2 days ago, and the readings were all good. The only changes we have had is a slight ambient temperature bump which raised that tank temp aprox. 2 degrees to 76 from 74.
