Hi, I have a 28 gallon freshwater tank that I keep at 78 degrees.
My current PH Level is over 7.6
My Nitrate is between 40 and 80
My Amonia is between 4 and 8
Amonia has been high for a week. Don't know about PH and Nitrate, but currently are at levels stated above. 3 Days ago I changed 1/5th of the water. The next day I changed another 1/5th. Yesterday, I changed about 1/2. I cannot get these levels down! I think my fish are sick.
Does anyone have any advice on how to get the levels down? Should I do prime in an emergency situation where I use 5 times the normal amount?
Thanks in advance.
