What can i do? Put some tank water in a clean glass to test later, but do a water change NOW. Post up the results of the tests you do.

What he said. If you change more than 30% make sure to use water ager. Don't change more than 50%. How long has the tank been setup for? Sounds like a nitrite spike to me. Test results will confirm, your local pet store should be able to do one for free or only a few $$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctsniper86 Posted November 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Tank has been set up for 3 months at least probably more. Will do a 30% water change asap after work, and will get some of the water tested at the LFS when I get a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
