Aquarium Advice Apprentice
yeah...used the water conditioner that came with the tank...and bought a bottle of Prime since everyone suggests that.
jahsublime said:do you know if purchasing some live plants would help it?
jahsublime said:yeah...I think at this point it might be worth it..a lfs about 20 minutes from me sells RO water...I may do that.
jahsublime said:well...its an investment in time and money...so I want to see it through and have a nice aquarium.
jahsublime said:UPDATE
I took eco23s advice...I did a complete water change and started over. That was about a week and a half ago. Nothing...nothing....nothing...then today, BAM! Ammonia has dropped to about 1ppm, nitrites are at about 2ppm and nitrates are about 20ppm. Happy days!
tlkng1 said:What was it someone said when I reported even the faintest hint of Nitrites...."we've never been so happy to see purple liquid inside a test tube."
jahsublime said:so, if I am reading your article correctly...I should dose the tank again with ammonia back up to 4ppm at this point?
