no dead fish laying around i have taken the dead ones out whenever i see them...
i think the tank smell is starting to get weaker as were today it was real strong. add more stones from 70L tank and added plants also turned temp down a little aquaone heaters are not very accurate as i had set my one on 26C
the heater says 26C, thermometer says 27.9C to 28.9C Accuracy +/- 1.0 deg C so what one should i believe??? this is a green house thermometer with a indoor temp and a outdoor temp probe.
its just this did not happen when i first setup the gold fish. what did i do wrong this time?? how about tank temp would this matter at the moment its 28.7 it goes down to 27.9 and up to 28.9 when the fish came from the shop there tanks temp where 30.9.
so what should i do just keep doing water changes and keep adding fish when they die. (If this is the case this could get costly)
If i was to put carbon in would that help with the problem.
i can also add some stones from my 70L tank would that help as well.
there is nothing but plants in the tank in the shed, in the smelly tank there is only 1 plattie and 2 neons, and the noodles from my 3rd tank has goldfish in it, also should i have carbon in the smelly tank?
hi have a new jebo 40L tank that was running for 1 1/2 weeks. before i added any fish. I put old noddles and filter wool from my 70L cold water tank into it (never had any problems with it). so far i have gone through 2 platties. I have done a 25% water change every day now after the first fish died and i have now added 2 neons. i have also added another 200L/PH clip on filter that was from a tank out in the shed that has been running for 6 months. when i do water changes on my 70L tank i put the waste water into that little tank out in the shed. also i have taken the light hood off to let more air get to the water. i remember when i setup my cold water tank it was only running for 2 days then 2 baby goldfish got added and it never went that smelly.when my guess is ammonia by that smell. what have i missed / doing wrong???
hi back again next question the box says the heater should be straight up and down but i would have thought that laying heater across the tank would have heated more even.
