Pink, an 8 yr old, came to me 11/26/22. She went to a temporary 56 G. It has a fully cycled AquaClear 110 HOB and a big sponge filter, also cycled. The ammonia spiked to 2 ppm on 11/28. Zero nitrites & 40 ppm nitrate. Did a 60% water change. Ammonia dropped to zero, no nitrites, but same 40 nitrates. On 11/29, the params were the same. I did another 60% water change & got the same results: O, O, 40. (Ammonia, nitrite, nitrate)
She was supposed to go into a 125 G this Monday, but the husband was unable to modify the stand due to a work situation. He should be able to fix the stand this weekend.
I have an Oscar of equal size (8”) in a 110 with a Jack D, maybe 7”. Their params now are 0,0, 20.
Should I change Pink’s water everyday to keep the nitrates from rising? I do have the option of adding additional cycled filter media.
