ammonia,no2,no3

Posted: January 21st, 2012, 2:09pm CST by johannes rall

Hi guys just want to know I have high ammonia,no2 and no3 count for about 2 weeks now and I did a huge water change last monday.I added a scopa of about 5cm +_ 2weeks back and caught 2 small butterflys a brown yellow tail sugeon and a convict surgeon about a week back all in the tank.Yes I know I should have qt it before hand but didnt have a tank.Could this be why I have the high param count I feed twice a day:)

Adding stability

Posted: January 20th, 2012, 8:39pm CST by johannes rall

Can I add stability to the tank juts to help build a stronger bacterial count.Dont know if the count low or ok.Read in another thread that I must add it to help with cyano.

Is this params fatally high?

this is the params of my fowlr tank.
Ammonia:0,25
NO2:0,1
NO3:25
PH8,2

If its fatal what will help only a water change

Hi guys.Just want to tell you about the knew addition to my tank.It was a present from a friend and its a beautiful scopa and its in the tank for 3 days now.goiung well eating everything in tank and what I feed him and his 2 chromis friends.The only thing is I had a problem with hidrogen sulfide.Cant see the stuff in sump and havent test it again but is abit worried for the scopa.Will he show signs if it affects him or not.:)

what else to do?

Posted: January 4th, 2012, 10:41pm CST by johannes rall

Hi guys I just want to know what else to do to get rid of the cyano.The LFS showed me something to throw in the water but I dont know if I should do it.Any suggestions please.I dont think its from overfeeding.I feed once aday and only a few flakes.Its just the two chromis in tank and the tanks been running for 6 months now.And another thing I have some green hair algea to is there any thing that I can get to keep it undewr control like a fish or something else?:blush:
