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
 
There is a list of willing media donors on this forum. I'm sure someone is probably close to you and would be willing to donate.
