HAs anyone have the right ideas in water changes? Some say dont vaccume the gravel some say do- my nitrates and ammonia were perfect before i did my water change last night. I vaccumed the gravel but i kept the vaccume in one spot and sucked till water came clear then repeated. Did not shuffle gravel, today my nitrates are spiked to the max! Ammonia is still same. My ph is still 7.6 and does not budge. I did another water change again this time just removing water. This time using filtered water to help my ph go down and still using water conditioners. Is it ok for the temp to fluctuate from 1-2 degrees putting back in the water? Am i doing this correctly? My dwaf rainbow fish keeps charging at the glass like if it is trying to hopefully break thru. What is going on.
