Fish Fanatic
hi.
I cycled my tank about 3 months ago and since then my nitrites were at 0ppm ammonia was at 0ppm and nitrates were at 10ppm every week i do 25% water changes, i had a fluval co2 20g kit which was filled up every day so my co2 was at 13ppm.
any way i thought i would spoil myself and go a nice piece of bogwood and the fluval co2 88g kit yesterday.
every single snail has died within a week as a bought 2 dwarf puffers last week.
When i set up the co2 i slightly overdosed as the fish was gasping so i turned it off and left it off all night.
any way i woke up today to find a cory dead. i removed it did a water test and the nitrites where at +5ppm ammonia was at 1ppm ph was at 6 and kh was at 1
since this morning i have done a 90% water change cleaned all the filter pads and give the gravel a good clean.
all fish are also accounted for.
even after the water change the stats havnt changed apart from the ph which is now at 7
so what could have caused the heavy nitrite/ammonia spike?
did i kill my filter by overdosing on co2?
can bogwood leech nitrite or ammonia?
does a ph crash actually completely kill my cycled filter?
any fast help would be greatly appreceated.
Thanks in advance
I also forgot to mension my gf has just done anougher 50% water change and the stats are still the same??
my stocking is
6 endlers
2 cories
2 puffers
Thanks
James
