thank you very much for your advice. i use tap water with API tap water conditioner and API stress coat. I use the API master kit to test. I wasnt checking every day. do you advise to check everyday?

The media is penn plax yes. I've tested again today and everything is the same except ammonia has gone down to 0.5. So do I do anotther water change or should I just leave it today cos the PH still low. The bloomin pet shop told me to do 1 flake a day because they told me 2 flakes last time and...

yeah. been doing it for the last 2 weeks.ammonia going up and down and now that I have been doing 50% water changes to get it down, the PH has gone down too. Argh! Readings before a 50% change today were PH 6.4 Ammonia 1.0 Nitrate5.0 Nitrite 0 and I feed 1 flake once a day

it is a WBK45F/UK or WBKS45UK. it came complete with a spongebob kit. the filter cartrides are clear free disposibles QCF1
