Aquarium Advice Regular
The last two days, the ammonia has been whizzing out. Two days ago, dropped to 1.0 so put in 3/4 tsp ammonia that brought it up to 4.
Last night it was between 0 and 1. so put in 1 tsp ammonia.
This A.M. (8 am) it was down to below 2 so added 1/2 tsp ammonia.
Now 2 hours later, the ammonia is at 1.0.
Sounds as if the bacteria are being busy little bacteria.
Ph is lowering but keeping that boosted to 7.6. I'm still using buffer Seachem's pH buffer. I think I will keep using it for awhile until I use it up. Then I might switch over.
Haven't changed the water yet. Not checking Nitrites/Nitrates since last night they were at the top of the colors, very deep.
Is it time that I change water partially...if so how much.
Then add the ammonia again to double check everything is functioning,
and when down to 0, go get myself some of my fish?
I'm still thinking about some live plants but am not real enthused to get. Still deciding on that.
Advice Please?
