Pregnant and not really eating?

What is the nitrate reading for the tap water supply? If it is lower than the tank then more water changes may be needed, I suspect the tap water is high too though based on size of changes you are doing.

I would suggest adding some pothos plants above the tank, epriprenum aureum (I think) or devils ivy.

I use a drip instead of large changes but you need a waste pipe for that. Make sure you have clean filters ( in old tank water) if you are changing 50% every third day it has to be the tap water if you are really doing that much. RO would be a solution to this but a pain to use if you remineralise correctly.


If then tap water is very high then you need an ion exchange resin, I have run these on the tank before and it can bring 100ppm to 0 overnight on 100 gal tank.

puffykid: Nitrates? Here in Denmark there's "nitrit" and "nitrat" and it's nitrit there is the problem. Just so we're talking about the same thing It's kinda difficult for me to explain it correctly in english
Yeah. A p. motoro is a freshwater stingray.

What's LR?

Just Toby: Just checked my tap water (with the strips) and everything turns out "0" - Green - Perfect

I can tell that I have 4 cichla monoculus, 1 black arawana, 1 flag tail, 10 silver dollars, 1 sorubim lima and 2 stingrays. It works out perfectly but of course that means I feed a lot - maybe that's the problem? I feed often cause i've heard that's the best.
