Hi ok, I have had this tank for about a month and some days not. Here are the specs and readings NOW, it was not always like this I used to have ammonia issues:
Ammonia 0
pH 7.6
Nitrate 10
Nitrite o
Chlorine 0
Ok so I just go the tank to where it looks like it is cycling now , I was doing 25 % water changes DAILY for 3 weeks and adding prime and then switching to distilled water every other day between water changes. So like prime Monday distilled Tuesday prime Wednesday distilled thursday etc.
Before you ask YES I tested the distilled water and temp matched to make sure it was safe and treated it for chlorine which it had none. anyhow 3 days AFTER the reading became normal now my fish have little tiny white specs on their fins. What really caught my attention i my guppy is active but then will lay on the bottom or hide in the corner and the other fish will simply swim near her. Also she is swimming funny like she is shaking and swimming and just seems sick please help
Here are some pics.
