Hi yes i am still doinf water changing but basing the tests if the levels are low i will change every other day. I am feed my fish Nutrafin Max fish onces a day while the tank is going though its cycle
and also feed bloodworms has well.
Fish are doing great no problems but my coldwater tank pick up slime so i have to use waterlife witch does not harm the bacs in the filter.

Still making some nice progress and it looks like you are doing enough in terms of water changes so far. Don't be too surprised if the nitrite number suddenly takes off on you and requires larger water changes for a few days soon.

We are starting to see your nitrite spike just like was predicted a few days ago. Just stay on top of things and it will work out fine.

It looks like things are hanging in there with chemicals well controlled. Are you still doing frequent water changes or has the bacteria got things under control?

 

[Daveuk]

Hi yes i am doing the water changes and checking the levels everyday. at this time i am changing the water on the coldwater and doing water changing on the Tropical tank has needed base on the water testing.has for the bacteria in the Tropical tank the levels are doing well keeping the levels down no problems has for the coldwater nitrite seem to jump from 0.1 to 0.2 ammonia staying safe at this time.
