I have a 35 gal. with
3 plecos
3 silver dollars
2 albino cory cats
Have just bought a used 100 gal. to transfer all fish to. While 100 gal. is cycling, have noticed the nitrates in 35 g. are out of site. Using liquid test kit with glass tube and bottle 1 and bottle 2. I do 25% water change once a week with a 10% change in between. Fish all seem to be ok. Did a 25% change yesterday and a 10% today. Nitrate still very high. Checked tap water, nitrate at 0. Did gravel vac. I am sure I have been overfeeding but have cut back on the food to minimal. Fish seem ok. Do I keep doing a 10% water change daily and check nitrate several hours later?
