Suggestions for amelioration of my tank.

[Weezer]

Rates should be around 20 or lower, Rites as you know should be 0, looks like water changes need to be done, 30% - 40% then recheck after a few hours..Are you using a liquid test kit,,, if not i would recommend getting one, they seem to be more accurate....

Oh I do, the API master kit

Will do as soon as I get back from work.

Doing a 75% water change right now.

Ammonia 0
Nitrites 2
Nitrates 20ppm

Hope this will help.

I don't understand, I had enough bacterias to put up with 5ppm of ammonia and bring it down to 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites and 10 ppm nitrates and now it's all gone

Anyways, I'm in love with my tank and my fishes now, thanks a whole lot for your suggestions, awesome board here

WOW! the transformation is dramatic, nice job it's very tasteful. It catches your eye as there's more going on to view. As your fish grow you might need larger crevices in the round rock but that'll be awhile. My tanks never stays the same, when I change the water I frequently remove the rocks and when they go back it's a different tank, it keeps them curious.
