I live in carterton near witney and work in cowley in oxford

I have today added a air stone so hopefully this may help
 
hi

I have addedd the air pump and the NO3 test has came down to 10.... am i right in thinking that i need to get this down to 0?
 
Just made it in from work. Do you have time to give us the most recent readings on Ammonia, NitrIte and Nitrate?

I apologize for not mentioning the airstone earlier.

Much better, but keep changing out the water and get those nitrites down to 0.

Can you please put some tap water in a cup, let it sit out overnight, and then test it in the morning? Post the results as well as what the pH is directly out of the tap.

If that pH is accurate, you need to make a mental note *never* to let your nitrites get out of control. Nitrite becomes much more deadly at very high pH readings.

I suspect it *is* correct, since you are running an aerator and gassing off any CO2 that may be in the water.
