I have a 520ltr tank with a sump filter but my intake column is extremely noisey (it sounds like a plug when draing a bath) ! Is there any way i can silence this ???????
Iv done another 50% today.
And my test is -
pH - 7
Nitrite - 3.3
But the colour of the test wasnt as bold as before it is still at 3.3 but it doesnt look as strong so i think im making progress
Thanks for all the help !
O and i found a treatment called Safeguard® by King British
And...
Thanks il try and do another 50% tomorrow and ill keep you posted in how im getting on.
My test does only go up to 3.3
An my nitrate goes to 110
So i think you may be right :-(
Thanks for the advice.
Iv done a 50% change and tested my water now 4 hrs later
pH - 7.0
Amonia - 0.0
Nitrite - 3.3
Nitrate - 110
Not budged abit !! And i took 2 hours to do the change ...
What now ? I really cant be doing the change every day . Will the nitrite go down on its own ?
Yeah thanks well im gunna do another 200 ltrs tomorrow and just pray to god it goes down.
I had plants in my sump to help filter but they were dying so i have taken them out today but i have lots of dead bits of plants should i take all the bits out ?
Thanks guys great help
Im doing 100ltr changes per day but after iv changed the water i test it and its still over 3.3 guess il hav to do more. My nitrates is also through the roof but i guess that makes sense with it changing all the nitrite to nitrate how will i know when it has cycled ??
There are fish in i was moving and had no where for the fish to go while the new tank cycled im using liquid tests , nutrafin .
Im raising the pH by 0.5 per day. And changing 100 or so ltrs a day.
In it are -
2x oscars
1x arrowana
2x fire eels
1x pleco
1x eye-biter
1x spotted talking catfish...
