a little weird.
I have lost my last platy. I just have my silver tipped shark, algae eater, and molly.
I did a water change on my 75 gal tank, like you guys had advised, (I used to just vacuum the rocks until they looked clean, only removing about 10 gal each time.) This time I removed about 20 gal and put 25 back in. I tested it before and after the change and here is what I got.
Before water change:
Nitrate...40
Nitrite...0
Hardness...1000
Alkalinity... 300
Ph...8.5
After the water change: (about 10 min after)
Nitrate...0
Nitrite...0
Hardness...300
Alkalinity...300
Ph...8.0
What does this tell you? I only put a de-chlorinator in it, I was not able to get a good conditioner yet. I will for next time.
I will still be looking into finding a new home for the shark, and i will be adding any new fish until probably after Oct 1st due to our house has gone into foreclosure and we have to move!
Thanks!
