Levels Getting Worse.....
 

Roy Tristan........SHUT THE HELL UP you clueless jerkoff troll! No
one cares about your flame war with disabled veterans and old ladies. take
it to email already.......... you go from group to group destroying them
with your toxic bull**** and negative vibes.

Too bad Roy Tristan Hauer your not hanging, like your buddy Jabbers Santana
contemplated doing in the suicide groups elling the depressed to kill
themselves. Now all the tweo of you do
is trash and make problems for any groups you all decide to hang out
in.

YOU bwil stil have a indicatin of ammonia, nitrate and nitrite even
when yu use Amquel. Its still there and will show on a test, but its
locked up and rendered safe........it can take quite a few water
changes to eliminate that indication your getting., I would lay off
adding amny more Amquell.....Just the va of gravel, and really by now
there should not be anything left to gravel......but it wil not hurt,
doing it and as a means of pulling out water to make room for a water
change addition. Continue laying off feed.....Those fish are not gong
to starve.........

Why is it you do not have an ammonia test kit?

Just work at getting the nitrate and nitrite levels and ammonia whewre
they need to be. None of the other readings are gona do in the fish
in a hurry and can be worked on after yu get this tank up and cycled
right. Its never a good idea to make too many changes all at once and
what your doing now is fine.......

I tried the suggestions on vacuuming my gravel for waste, cutting back
on my feeding to now once every other day and not very much... I've
completed two 25% water changes, and added AmQuel to try and
Neutralize
the Nitrates and Nitrites..

So far I have the following...

Nitrate = 40ppm

Nitrite = 5.0ppm

Hardness = 150ppm (up from 75ppm from before)

Alkalinity = 0 (yes Zero.. It was around 40ppm Just yesterday)

PH = 6.8 (down from 7.2)

Now keeping in mind I did a 100% Water change last Tuesday 9th, and
have three 2" sword tail fish & about 14 or so fry in a net and with
the 100% change I cleaned all Decor & Gravel well, got rid of algae,
etc.. I don't know what I'm missing or can do to fix my levels..

My fish are just kinda "hanging around" most of the time... Sorry if
this seems like a identical repost, but it's more of an update and I
don't know what to do...
