My 40 gallon Eclipse is 5 months old. Cycled nicely in 6 weeks per everyones comments...unfortuately with fish per the instruction of the fish store. With daily water changes, we did not loose any fish.
Anyway, my nitrates will not drop below 60-70 every since the cycle was complete. Amonia and nitrites are 0. I do a 25% water change every including a partial gravel clean.
We have 3 severums, 2 silver dollars and 6 small tetras.
Running a 404 fluval.
Is the high nitrate normal? I've heard anywhere from 0 - 80 is OK?
Thanks!
