In the process of doing a 90% water change.

 

[Hbbambislayer]

You get the nitrites down to 1ppm or preferably less yet .5 would be ideal

 

[JDL2013]

Well sorry forgot to post the results of the last water change.
Ph: 7.6
Ammonia: 0
Nitrites: 0.5-1
Nitrates: 5-10

That sounds good hope you remembered not to add any ammo. Test water again after 24 hours let us know readings ammo not really important it'll be 0.

 

[JDL2013]

I usually test my parameters twice a day, so ill test in the morning and post those results in the morning and then the second test result before i go to bed.

 

[JDL2013]

Morning test

Ph: 7.6
Ammo: 0
Nitrites: 0.25
Nitrates: 20-40

 

[Hbbambislayer]

I'm thinking it's been 24 hours since you were done the water changes

 

[JDL2013]

Yes I tested this morning and i just walked in the door let me go test the parameters and ill let u know what they are

 

[JDL2013]

Ph:7.6

0 Nitrite: 0-0.25
Nitrate: 50

Add enough ammo for 1ppm

 

[JDL2013]

Okay did that, i will keep u informed on the parameters... ill test again in the morning and let u know the morning

 

[Hbbambislayer]

Ok just ley me know after 24 hours also that's the test I'm concerned with

 

[JDL2013]

Ph: 7.6
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 1
Nitrates:80

 

[JDL2013]

Okay after 24 hours my parameters are .....
Ph:7.6
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: between 0-0.25
Nitrates between 80-160

 

[Hbbambislayer]

Wonderful go ahead and add ammo to 2ppm hopefully same results tomorrow night

 

[JDL2013]

I already added enought ammonia to get it to 3ppm. But ill let u know in the morning what its at and again tomorrow night

 

[JDL2013]

Last night after adding ammonia to get it to 3ppm. This morning's test results.

Ph: 7.6
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 2
Nitrate:between 80-160

 

[JDL2013]

Wonderful go ahead and add ammo to 2ppm hopefully same results tomorrow night

After 24 hours after i added the ammonia to get it to 3ppm of ammo.
Ph: 7.6
Ammonia:0
Nitrite:0
Nitrate: 80-160

 

[JDL2013]

Wonderful go ahead and add ammo to 2ppm hopefully same results tomorrow night

After 24 hours after i added the ammonia to get it to 3ppm...
Ph:7.6
Ammonia:0
Nitrite:0
Nitrate:80-160

My phone is being weird. Your test tonight is 0 0 and alot of nitrates? If I'm reading that correct and that's after you did your 3ppm ammo yesterday add 4ppm tonight.
