Hi
31.03.2006
PH: 7.0 KH: 6.0 PO4: 0 NH3/NH4:0 NO2: <0.3 NO3: 12.5-25
07.05.2006
PH: 7.0 KH: 4.0 PO4: 0.5 NH3/NH4:0 NO2: <0.3 NO3: 100+ 8O
Did no major water change (my mistake ) during this time period (may be 10% changed/added after 2 weeks). Filter was regularly cleaned 8) . 2 weeks ago added more fish in the tank 8) .
NO3 is over 100+ 8O which should be < 50 remaining all values looks fine. Tetra test kit can measure only till 100 while my aquarium water is having surprisingly very high which I can't measure with this kit.
Yesterday did immediately 50% water change. Today NO3 level is still not coming on tetra test kit chart range(100+ 8O) Did again today 50% water change.
I am looking for the tips to prolong PWC stuff OR to prevent unexpected high nitrate levels since I have to go for holidays approx. 3 weeks. Luckily this time there is no fish loss all look fine but if it happens during my absence then then........ :?
