Poly bio load

[tlindsey]

Lol its like taboo to admit what our nitrate levels are lol yeah im thinking maintaining that perfect 10 to 20 range is unralistic but would like to be closer long term with adult fish.

Nice! Will that be used for your wc's or part of the sump Jaws ?

225g would be 6x2.5x2. I have an extra 6" in height so 270.

DMD123 most of your polys are 15+ right ? Im thinking our bioloads will be similar though i only have 1 cichlid. You think you could run a nitrate test before your next wc?

Im the worst when it comes to actually testing. I just do my regular water changes and feed. I really dont think about it. My fish are healthy and growing so I dont fuss about it.

Im with dmd the last year and a half or so I stopped testing unless something is wrong... Just maintain the tanks with my water changes as scheduled.

I dont test on a reg basis but do continue to test every few weeks especially when they arent near adult size, i feel like bioload changes with the size... plus i just like doing it, just part of my routine i guess.

I don't test on the regular either. Poly Stock is 18"-22, 8 characins, and 1 datnoid 6x2x26 / 1 FX5 / WC 5-6 days. Felt even at 13 polys that parameters were manageable. My experience is their one of the lowest producing bio load fish per size out there.

I do the same, last time i did water test was 4 months ago
