hi, nitrates are dangerous above 40ppm, deadly at 100ppm, most on here like to keep them as low as possible, some even below 10ppm! not saying thats the cause of the spots pal but something to keep in mind when you are stocked so heavily, you need an 8x3x2 minimum really to keep all those fish long term. goodluck!-)
ok thanks.i will be keeping a close eye on nitrates and let you know what i come up with.cheers.
hi there,i just got my nitrate tested and its on 50ppm,due for a water change tomorrow.so when i do water change the water is ok for about 3 days then the nitrates go up.looks like i will have to do it twice aweek.going to get a sponge filter to help with the fx5.i keep you posted thanks.
think i know why my nitrates were high,look at my fx5 filter was cleaned six months ago.it was like mud.
think i will clean it every three months as my fish are getting bigger.
