I am having some weird problems with my water quality lately.
All of a sudden, my 30 gallon tank (running for over a year) is having severe problems with nitrate/ammonia.
My 10 gallon tank is also having these problems, although the tank is about a month old.
I have had two small fish die in my 10 gallon. (guessing from the water quality) and the 2 gouramis in that tank are just laying on the gravel.. very very lathargic...
In my 30 gallon tank, no fish have died from the water quality... But they are all very non-active. The angelfish just sit at the top of the tank with their top fin out of the water.. the sharks just sit there and twitch.
I have added aquarium salt for fresh water to help with the ammonia and nitrate levels. I have also started using Prime instead of aquaplus... but I have lost one of the small fish just last night.
I do not want to lose anymore fish and am getting a little stressed from the water quality.
The large tank will be having a big move into another room tomorrow and I don't want to have to worry about water quality anymore!
Anyone have ANY advice on what to do?
I appreciate any feedback!
