Me again. So as you may or may not know I have a small 19lt tank with 2 platies and a ghost shrimp living in it. Uncalled might I add, although we are doing a fish in cycle. Since getting them I've been doing a 20-25% water change every other day. With added bioactive tap safe to help declorinate etc.
My question is is this enough? The ammonia levels are sitting around 1ppm as is nitrite, nitrate is at 80 and PH is 7-8.
I've recently put in some fern and moss to help too and I feed the fishes sparingly every other day (same day I do the water changes).
Also the stuff I use to treat the water requires me to make up 10lts to ensure the measurement's are right. I only 4lt of this can I leave the rest in the bucket and use it for the next water change. For example I made up the water sunday night, ready for the change on monday...I have some left so can I use this for the water change tomorrow? Thanks for any advice
