Fish Fanatic
Well, someone can kick my batooty as I now have 4 new angels. I swore I would not put myself or the fish through this again. I purchased them from a FS about 120 miles from where I live. They looked great in the tank at the store. I am hoping to keep these going. Can someone give me a clue about what changes I need to make to my tank to even make sure that these are survivors.
My parameters: Ph=7.0, Ammonia=0, Nitrites=0, Nitrates=0, Fe=.5, Po4=2.5 (dont know why)
I boil peat at 2 gal intervals and place in a 5 gal bucket. I then filter the peat and add a bubbler and bubble about 2-3 days. When doing replacement water, I replace about 2 1/2 gals of peat water with regular tap water. I do water changes of 15+ gal of tank water about every 3 days. During water changes I clean the gravel and in some spots down into the gravel. (wondering if this may be a problem area). Just want to add that my tap water is well water that is 7.6 and the peat water is about 6.6. This combination has not changed my PH of 7.0 at any time. Dont know if its due to the low amount water changes.
If I need to change something.......anything.......give me clues......I WANNA RAISE angels
