Good evening, at christmas my Fluval U3 underwater filter broke, the parameters were all good before that, I have 120 litres, 1 goldfish. I then purchased an allponds solutions external filter but I just didn’t think it was working properly and was quite loud so I bought another Fluval U3. The tank was cloudy for a bit, I kept some bacteria from when I had the previous Fluval filter and moved some bacteria from the external into this one.
I have had a problem with ammonia and PH ever since changing and I’m stuck what to do next. The nitrites are 0, nitrates are 5ppm, the PH used to be 7 now mostly 6.4 and the ammonia is always 0.25 - 0.50 even after water changes. I have used ammonia remover which removes it for a day then the ammonia is back, I’m just not sure how much water I should be changing and if I should be doing this daily?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Louise
