(I don't know if i'm in the right forum here but here it goes) I have been running a 53g for just over a month, i am using a Fluval U4 Internal Filter and havent experienced any problems so far. My tank is currently stocked with a Senegal Bichir (4"-5") and an Albino Plecostomus (3"-4") (Of which i have heard i can't keep in that tank for life, so don't worry, i definitly won't)
However, 2 weeks ago i tested my water (Doing the water change a day before), and there appeared to be some Ammonia and some more Nitrite (Sorry i can't provide exact readings) so i later that week i done my water change and added all necessary water treatments (Only this time i further used Nutrafin Waste Control). The next day i tested my water and there was more Ammonia and a little more Nitrite (Nitrite was a pale purple and Ammonia was a pale lime-green, both second section away from 0 - sorry i couldn't put it any better - nothing severe)
So, does anybody know why or how this is happening and how i can cure this?
- Thanks in advance
