hi all,
I have had my tank running for about 6 weeks since it was fully cycled. i have tested the water every few days since and its been perfect. all 0's and 7ph.
A few days ago i tested the water and found the nitrites were 0.3 , and nitrates 5.
I did a 30%-40% water change and cleaned the filter and the tank. Re tested the water today (4 days after cleaning it) and nitrites and the nitrates are still the same as before. the ph has dropped to 6.5 also
i have a 75L tank with 6 corys, 8 neon tetras, 1 pleco. i also have 1 plant which i added a few weeks ago.
any ideas what to do?
thanks,
dan
