I have had a 300 gallon tank setup for a few months now, it was initially cycles with a few 17 inch datnoids in it, I then removed one of the datnoids and put two henlies in the tank with one datnoid and a flagtail, I had about half a bucket of cocoa pebbles (ehiem) and a half a bucket of biomax(fluval) after one day and light feeding ammonia jumped 1.5 ish nitates 40 nitrite 0 I then went to the local pond store bought a roll of the filter media they use in barrel filters (thick spongelike material) cut that up and put it in the sump. I have been doing 2 25-30 percent water changes for the last two weeks and my readings are .5 Am 0 nitrite and 35-40 nitrate. Temp is a steady 79. Running about 2700 thru the sump. 4 filter socks. What are your suggestions for getting the ammonia down without harming my rays? Should I move one to a different tank? More water changes? Less? I'm honestly tired of 2 sometimes 3 water changes a day. Not a first time ray keeper so keep the ( rays produce.... To a minimum please I know) Just looking for some straight up advise. I've read 85 percent of what's posted in the forums of the fish I keep steadily for the past 2-3 years.
