    Nitrate too high???

    If I got another 2 Cory would that be too much for my tank at the moment though as the lfs doesn't take fish back and I don't know anyone else with a tank thank could take the 2 Glow lights. But once they've gone I would need to get 3 more black neons bringing them upto 6 would that be ok...

    Thank you. Should I test the tap water how I normally test it then again after shaking it for 2 mins (also do I do it straight from the tap - I don't need to leave it or anything) I'll also retest the tank. Thanks Clare Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

    After 7 months of healthy fish, total die-off. Help!

    Thank you. I think I'll have to travel around as where I live there is only one lfs and this doesn't have very much so I think I need to find a specialist in the SE England. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

    Fish in cycle not on purpose.

    Thank you. I'll make sure I check my levels first thing tomorrow then I'll let you know how I'm going. And next time I do a water change the dechlorinator goes in the water before in the tank then once it's in the tank I put safestart enough for my whole tank. Sorry to keep repeating myself I...

    Fish in cycle not on purpose.

    So I shouldn't be adding my safestart to the fresh water I've just added dechlorinator (aquastart) to before adding it to the tank. Should I add it directly to the tank? Sorry for the confusion x Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

    Can you add this prime stuff in with the Aquasafe and safestart does it all just go in together? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

    Fish in cycle not on purpose.

    Thank you Byron. I use Tetra Aquastart dechlorinator and Tetra Safestart. I have done a waterchange today after doing the tests. I'll do another test tomorrow and depending on that result I'll do a waterchange if needed. I hope that this is the right way. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
