i knew NOTHING about fish until tues and have done many hrs of reading
an elderly lady neighbor went into hospital last week and tues i saw her son and was helping him move a few things and i spotted a algea covered tank.
the 205 external wasnt running becuse the electric is on a pre payment meter and it turns out the power has been off for 6 days.
ive reheated the water to 23 deg and now changed half the water and ammo is at 0.50 ppm and nitrite is high. used declorinator etc
do i change another 50percent today but in the long term ineed to get the media back up to speed so i presume the best way is to get mature media from somewhere (im in chichester)
ive cleaned the glass and cleaned the gravel with a syphon when i change the water.
the fish are 6 small kutubu rainbows
4 adult bronze corys
2 congo tetra smallish
