Ummm with the nitrate, i was kind of estimating b/c the colour wasnt quite dark enough to call it 5. ppm. Is that okay? THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I cant express enough how much y'all have helped us and how appreciative we are!

Good Morning Everyone!!! I am quite estatic to write that my tests this morning are quite good!! Well I think so .... u will let me know if im right.lol. The results are : Ammonia - 0, Nitrite-0, and the Nitrate is @ 2.5 ppm. So is this good news!?! Should a water change b done?

Good Morning, I am happy to report 0 ammonia, yay! Nitrite @ .25 ppm and the Nitrate is @ 5.0 ppm. No we are not using prime as of yet, just water changes.Things seem to be holding consistent. Have a great day!!!

Once agian the water levels they are at the same amount as yesterday the ammonia is at 0.25, nitrate is 5.0, and the nitrite is at 0.25 then did a 50% water change. How long will it take to do this part of the cycle.

Okie dokie, the only fish we have left is one guppy, one platy, one shrimp and one cory. So for right now il do a 25 percent water change and wait to see what u guys suggest.

K guys, i think we have achieved the ending of phase one and the beginning of phase two! Yay! Man u people have been such a blessing of help, thank you!!! The reason I believe we have reached phase two is because. I did as was suggested. On Sunday we did a big water change and cleaning of the...

Good morning once again, according to the calculator u linked us. The NH3+NH4 is .5 ppm and the NH3 is @ .0067 ppm. So now what is this telling me? Lol

We are using spring water. Not our tap water I havent found our test yet. So im not sure if the water is good. I dont think so however. Mr.eaglesaquarium what did u mean about the ammonia and the ammonium?

Good morning, just checking give ya an update. So i have still been changing water everyday because of the ammonia, which has been steady @ .25 ppm. I cant seem to keep it @ zero. Im doing anywhere from a 50% - 75% water change every morning after testing. Is there something Im doing wrong, and...

Hello agian, uhm the two juli cory fish that we got one of them died and i was wondering ,if the live one should be left alone in the quary tank or put in with the other fish?

Okay, that sounds good we will do that. Umm is there a special type of food that they eat or is it the same as our tropical fish?

Good day, well we lost the guppie, but on the bright side we seem to b maintaining the tank water now. However my son bought two cory today. How long should we quarantine them for and what things should we b looking for? Thanks so much the help, you all have been a tremendous! Above and beyond...

Good Morning everyone ! Well we gave him a salt bath and he reacted quite well towards and was doing great. However when we put him back into the tank, he goes down straight to the bottom and sits there breathing heavy. Today i noticed that instead of the gills being red which they are no...

We have a fungal treatment bottle that active ingredient is pimenta racemosa 1.0 % that says to use for seven days is this good?

The spot on his fin appears to be a fuzzy ball and is growing rather quickly. I have just done another water change as well.

Hello agian another fuzz thing is happening it looks like it is only on one fish. It is his top fin, it is small right now but i was wondering what i should do about it?

Good day to y'all ! The water testing this morning showed, ammonia @ .50 ppm, the nitrite @ 0, the nitrate @ 0. We have been doing water changes all week, because the ammonia level has been between .5 and 1. It seems to b getting better tho like this morning was only point 5, so to me thats a...

Hello agian sorry its been so long since we have messaged anything. We have been busy with the ick salt baths and reclearing the water, now his high fin platy top and his bottom fins are closed, his gills are red, he is gasping for air, been spending alot of time at the top and has a white...

Thanks guys, hope ur day today is going well. Ours here seems to, cold like the dickens however. The fish are taking to the salt just fine,even seem a little more active, than usual. However i am wondering about our shrimp, can he handle the salt? Should he b removed?

Which kind of salt? So no water changes while we are putting the salt in? What about the ammonia and all of that? The fish we have are 2 male guppies, 2 male high fin platys, and one ghost shrimp. So a full seven days of adding a tablespoon of salt slowly @ 12 hour intervals ? But no more than...

Hi guys, Quick update, we have tested again and the ammonia is @ .25, all others are @ zero, this is okay? Another thing too, the white specs on them dont seem to be going away, should we b concerned? Oh and what size of a filter pump should we have on the tank? Its a fifteen gallon. I have...

Good morning, When referring to the salt in my water, its in our tap water. We have a system for our water that helps soften it with the use of the salt. The size of the tank is a 15 gallon. We did our testing again this morning and here are the results. Ammonia - .5 ppm (so now in process of...

Okay, so if these spikes happen, then water changes? As for our tap water I will certainly, get that information to you asap. I dont know it off hand, sorry. We add a salt to our water as well. Umm this maybe a stupid question, but I must know, the fishes food get caught in the hornwort...

Hello, good day to you too! So after testing the water this morning and finding the ammonia @ .50 ppm we did a 50 percent water change. We slowly let the new water stream into the tank, within a four hour period. It seemed to not stress out the fish too much . We waited 4 hrs and just tested...

Hello agian it is 4 hours later and my ammonia is sitting in between 0.25 ppm and 0.50 ppm and the nitrite is at 0 ppm what is next to do?

Again thanks soo much for the help. In four hours will bring us to the supper hour, we will definitely doing the testing again and get back @ ya. The reason for using bottled spring water is because we are on a well system, and our water is very hard, with sulfur and tennen(wood in water).

We did a test 2 hours after refilling the tank and the ammonia is in between 0 and 0.25 ppm. We are wo dering if we should put meds in the water. Thxs for the help!

Thank you very much we have empty the tank 90% now what?
