Re: I need a lot of questions answered about my current stoc

OK. I won't treat with medications until then. I added my fish at about 2-3 different times. I didn't have any nitrites or ammonia before, but, yeah I did change my biological media at the wrong time I think, but, I was hoping that if there were anymore worms in them that it would then be removed......

Re: I need a lot of questions answered about my current stoc

What is the GH and KH of the tank today? Monitor the conditions, see what happens to all the things you have tests for. Especially ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, GH, KH, pH and TDS.

Re: I need a lot of questions answered about my current stoc

OK. I changed the water about 90% and I added some gallons of distilled water. My nitrite is 0* and my ammonia is 0. My TDS is 195, ph is 6.9. Before my nitrite highest spike after 1 day is .5PPM

Re: I need a lot of questions answered about my current stoc

I have strong filtration. Fluval Fx6, cascade 1500 and a hydo 600 and a magnum water polisher- and aerators. After adding a few more fish, an antibacterial, and I also changed most of the biological media to a different type (rings to matrix)... Those together caused another cycle. No fish have gott...
