Aquarium Advice FINatic
I have a 55 with labs, peacocks, a Hap and a Johannii. 10 fish in total, all sub-adult, so only about 25" of fish in total. Below are my parameters:
Ammonia: 0
Nitrates: 50
Nitrites: 0
Hardness: 300
Chlorine: 0
Alkalinity: 150
pH: 7.4
I have a couple of questions: My Nitrates seem a bit high, which tells me that it is cycled properly, but I need to do PWC more frequently. Shoot I do a 45-50% PWC and a thorough deep gravel vacuuming weekly. My tank does not seem to be overcrowded. Am I feeding them too much? I give them a pinch or two of NLS once daily. They have it finished within about 30 seconds.
What about my other parameters? Do I need to be concerned about the low pH? How is my hardness looking?
