Hey guys its been a while since i've posted but i have an unusual thing going on and i wanted some input.
I had my new tank set up for about 6 months when I moved. It's now been about 3 months since the move. My nitrate used to be at 0 before the move. A week after the move, it spiked to 30-40ppm. Normal ph, 0 ammonia, and 0 nitrites.
Now, everything stayed at 0 and the nitrate is staying around 20ppm. Mushrooms splitting like mad and some cool pink sponges are popping up. Everything looks happy but I can't get nitrates down.
I change 10% water about every two weeks since cycled and run chemipure. I've tried 20% water changes every other day for 10 days and it didn't move so I must have a source for the nitrate, I'm just not sure where!!
Any ideas??
