Fish Tank Woes
After a year of complete stability in our fish tank a month or so ago my fish tank started going nuts! At first it was just a pH issue and then there was an algae breakout and now the algae is gone because the water went nuts and killed even the algae! The pH went back down and the nitrate levels went way up! I now have the nitrate levels back under control. I was able to erridicate that issue, but the pH is still an issue although I'm working on that as well. I'm slowly raising it back to 7.0. I'm down to 7 fish...2 angelfish, 1 male betta, 2 female bettas, 1 albino catfish and 1 crab. Today things are looking up though. The water is still a bit cloudy, but the pH is finally up to a level that registers on the tests strip and the nitrate as I mentioned is completely gone. Let's hope the positive progress continues! All these fish deaths are breaking my heart!
