Yeaaahhh.... I have a moderately planted 10 gallon tank with an Opaline Gourami and an African Butterfly fish. Tank water chenistry is consistantly at....
Ph <6
Am 1ppm
Ni 0
Na <5ppm
The tank has been running for about 3 months now. I have an Aqueon 20 and an Aquaclear 20 for filtration. I keep the Aquaclear on low so the fish don't get blown about. I put a couple of seashells (after cleaning of course) to attempt to slowly raise the ph....and if the water is not changed for about a week it does actually make a difference...Brings it to about 6.4.
I simply cannot bring the ammonia levels down and keep them down. My tapwater tests at 1ppm consistantly. but its ph is 7.8....I'm at a loss.
The fish I have left seem to be just fine....and they have been here for the whole time....
Any good ideas?:fish9:
