Switch to 38G bow.....
Posted: Tue Jun 28, 2016 1:19 pm
Hi ladies and gents! I've been lurking and soaking up as much info as I can for a while now and have some water readings to spit out. I have 1 GSP (2 inches roughly) and 1 lowly fish store saved F8 (very small and emaciated) that I've switched over to a 38G Marineland bow front. Half inch argonite substrate with 3 large river rocks and at 1.004 salinity, temp 78. Running an Aquaclear 70 along with a power head.
I kept my cycled sand and filter of course and about 10 gallons of previous tank water (as well as a live plant).
A day later my readings look like this:
Ammonia .5
PH 7.8
Nitirite .5
Nitrate 0
GSP is acting sluggish which I assume is because of the ammonia; thinking of a 50% water change and add more Prime.
Thoughts?
