While I am waiting, here is a pic of the tank as it currently stands - apologies about the quality of the photo, old camera!

Was thinking maybe some sort of plain background?

Any suggestions welcome.

Tested this morning almost 48 hrs after upping ammonia..

Ammonia still at 4ppm

 

[MattJ]

Any suggestions to background?

 

[MattJ]

Still no change in Ammonia levels. Surely one day soon!!

 

[MattJ]

Fingers crossed when I check again tonight there will be some movement!

Haha all the best!

 

[MattJ]

At least in the mean time the sound of the water is relaxing!

 

[MattJ]

About time, looking at between 0 and .25 ammonia maybe, hard to tell with the API kit..

 

[MattJ]

So should I dose back up to 4ppm again?

As I understand, I need to keep doing that until it goes back down to 0 within 24 hours?

Do u small water change and dose ammonia back up to 4ppm! u had movements tonight! Hurray

 

[MattJ]

By small are we talking 10-15% ?

 

[Hubert90]

Ya that should be fine. Do about 20%

 

[Hubert90]

Wait wait. Ur nitrite!! Is 10?? Or nitrate. I'm getting a sus feeling that it's nitrate

 

[MattJ]

[Hubert90]

nitrITE

Can u even read 10 on ur nitrite card? (this is the one Turns purple and blue) hmm if it is 10 Nigeria u need a HUGE water change more than 50% to bring it down

 

[MattJ]

Ignore that.. I'll retest and post image if I can

 

[MattJ]
