Aquarium Advice Freak
Hi- I have had a twisted knee for 3 weeks, which forced me to not do my regular maintenance if my aquarium. A few days ago, I made it to my room, where I tested the ammonia and nitrate levels, and they were both off the charts. I did a 80% water chang and siphoned the gravel. Since then, the ammonia has dropped considerablly till its near 0, but the nitrate level remains high, dropping only slightly. I cleaned out the my aquaclear filter, which was very dirty, but I did not replace the carbon in there. Also, the temperature of the tank is running around 85 or so due the high humidity and heat lately where I live. Any advice on what to do to lowerr the nitrates? Thanks
