My problem is in my 125 gallon tank 72x18x22.
I have 8 reds in their various sizes check my sig. and I have had this tank up and running for like 3 months now.
Lately I have noticed a very minor Ammonia of .25 ppm.
I just checked over weekend and It was a 2ppm.
I did a 50% water change and siphoned bottom and now it has been at 1ppm for a couple days but is not going down!!
I have this tank over filtrated with 2 fluval 403's and 2 AC 500's. I cant understand how it spikes up like that!
Could I be overfeeding? Once daily and I scoop out uneaten food!
I do 30% water changes with siphon weekly but tank gravel always seems very dirty and I cant get Nitrates down to below 50ppm!
I have no nitrites so tank has to be cycled properly!
Ph at 6.5 temp 82, steady.
Also have to large common plecos !! All they do is shibby all the time!!
Sorry for long post !
Thanks all in advance!!
