Fish. Not horses.
How do you know his 125 is not a marine tank and that one fish he has in there is a........seahorse!!! So technically he could have a horse in his tank.

I fear the worst for dear R Richard203 its possible the nitrates have leached into the air and have incapacitated him. The horses are running a muck and his jardini is now the only thing in the tank.
How long can this thread go on with no reply from the op? Let's find out!

sry I don't know why I never get notification no more. anyways I think the nitrate tested at 30ppm after a 2 week water change. I change my water every 2 week with 80%. I tested my tap water its at 0ppm. my jaridini is around 6 inch and I have purigen in my hob. do I need to age my water to test nitrate?

Dont need to age the water but the simple solution would be to just do weekly wc's, you can test before and after the wc to figure out how much needs to be changed

so I tried not using the canister since i know after awhile it will become nitrate factory so I just use 2 hob and I still get high nitrate. im feeding only once a week because I want to see is it I keep feeding daily to make it so high but even if I feed it once a week with just a 1/4 piece of talipa it still the same. ima test the water this weekend and change the water to see whats the reading.
