Hello,
I live in the Oklahoma tornado area that was effected here in may.... Ever since then I've been battling to keep my fish alive.
On the Monday of the Tornado I lost power for about a week... In that time I have lost power off and on... And obviously that meant that the filters were not running and obviously the ammonia was not being properly converted.
Here's what I've been doing since just under two weeks... Change the water when the ammonia reached higher than 1.0 ammonia usually worked out about 2-3 days.... Well my levels started to stabilize only getting .25 of ammonia occurring each day. Until last night we got rocked with another killer storm which knocked out our transformer and lines again... Thankfully they just restored the power but after testing I'm back up to 1.0 ammonia (roughly)...
Is it better to keep changing our water the longer the ammonia levels finally level off and disappear? Or should I let the bacteria just grow and not touch the tank?
I'm feeding once every other day and have considered once every 3 days is that a good plan? I'm deffinantly in a mini cycle and don't know what to do.
