the tank has been up n running for 6 weeks. i asked on here about the nitrate prob and the general opinion was do water changes daily. as for the new product, its not a chemical , someone else who dosnt read properly ! its totally organic. im happy with it , my fish are fine and the levels have...

yes i have tested for ammonia and its 0 as it was before i added the new stuff. the ph is fine too 7.0 . :)

high nitrates are bad for your fish , this product is completley organic and harmless to your fish and you cannot overdose with it . yes the link is the right one. proof of the pudding is in the eating as they say. believe me this product is the bees knees. it lowered my nitrates and nitrites...

hi guys , i have been having probs with nitrate & nitrite levels readings 80 & 1. i was doin water changes (25%) every other day and it wasnt comming down much . a friend told be about a product completley chemical free and in 2 days my levels are spot on honestly. im not accociated with the...

cheers. guess i must keep up the water changes till the levels drop to acceptable levels. thanks very much for your help. billy :)

just did a tap water test , its 0

so in time the nirite and nitrate levels will come down if i keep doing the water changes ? and as the tank matures? would i nitrate treatment be any good (tetra aqua easy balance )or should i steer clear of chemicals, it does say its harmless to fish !

hi , thanks for your help . 1st question : did the water change today should i do another tomorrow ? and daily till the levels drop to 20 or below ? 2nd question : will these levels harm my fish? and 3rd question : would a full water change make make sense ? thankyou :rolleyes:

hi , how long have they had swollen bellies ? have they had a big feed then developed the pop bellies ? best thing to do is keep an eye on them , get some reading material and read up on them too. if they were like that when you bought them then possibly but who can know for sure.how long have...
