Since I picked up my Flowerhorn I have been increasing the amount of times I feed my tank (90 gallon, stock includes 1x FH ,1x Clown loach 3" ,2x Tinfoil barbs 6") from once a day to 2-3 times a day. Only feeding pellets at this time as well. I took a water sample last Thursday and noticed my NO3 was around 80 ppm NO2 and Ammonia were 0. I did a little bit of a larger water change than normal close to 40% ( regular WC is 25%) and vaccumed my substrate. Monday I again checked my levels with my Nitrate again up to 80ppm and Nitrite and Ammonia 0. Did the larger than normal water change again around 40% and cleaned my canister filter. Yesterday I checked my levels again and NO3 was at an alarming 160ppm. I am under the impression that the larger water change I conducted last week sparked this by killing off beneficial bacteria and I am getting a case of new tank syndrome. I went out and purchased stability and have been treating with one capfull for 20 gallons since I do not want to shock my fish. Today levels were back down to ~80 and hopefully dropping more. I suspect the larger WC and cleaning the filter to be the cause of this but is it possible it is the increased feeding?
