almost a month ago now i started up my 55 gallon freshwater tank. i have had great success with it , water levels stayed very healthy and all my fish have done very well. about 5 days ago i noticed that my ammonia levels were off the charts. so i went to every fish store in my area, asking tons of questions. i ended up using a biological additive and lots of ammo-carb in my filters. now, 5 days later, and with no fish loss, i have successfully lowered my ammonia levels to almost nothing. now, though, my nitrate levels are outside the range of even being tested.... how do i get these levels back in control? my ammonia problem apparently came from river rock that i had found and put in my tank, for as soon as i took them out of the tank, the levels started dropping, slowly. now i just need help with the nitrates. i will try to post pictures soon, i just need to figure out how....
