Nitrate Sorted - I hope!!!
« on: October 03, 2009, 12:03:14 pm »
Thanks to all your reply's on my previous thread.

I hope I'm not speaking (or typing:)) too soon, but my Nitrates are very much down:D
 
I did a 50% water change, took out all plants and decor. Gave the gravel a good clean and tidied up the plants / removed debris etc. I put some Matrix in my Pro 3 (still maturing) and put my de-Nitrate in my Pro 2 on a very slow flow rate. I did this on Tuesday and my readings today are:
 
pH - 7.4
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - <20
 
Oh yeah baby - well happy. Thanks again. I will be doing weekly water changes / less feeding and hopefully keeping on top of it;)
 
Also been a very busy bee (or should that be fish?). I've also upgraded my 2nd tank. I had an extra 6 inches of space in my living room which allowed me to upgrade from a 60 litre to a 95 litre tank. It's amazing what you can do with an extra 6 inches;). I will post pictures of both tanks shortly.
