OK, this is my first time dealing with bad results (other than when I cycled) so I'm not quite sure what to do.
I just re-aquascaped including changing the substrate so I am sure that is what caused this.
Ammonia: 0.5
Nitrite: 0.5
Nitrate: 20
I did a 20% PWC about 7 hours ago. Do I just keep doing daily PWC until the numbers are right? (my API test kit booklet says ammo-lock and stress zyme to treat ammonia and nitrite? - any experience there?)
Also, the SG in my tank was 1.025. I mixed some saltwater at 1.024 (to try to bring it down a little.. slowly). I end up with 1.026 in the tank. This is the SECOND time this has happened (getting a higher combined reading when mixing tank salt and mixed salt). What is up with this?
Thanks in advance.
