37 gallon tank. How much water do I get out for the nitrate?

"I keep saying Prime". Just keep doing it. They'll have to throw you some money eventually. Nitrite tests are only good for cycling. You test daily and start cussing that it's still there instead of nitrate then never think about it again.

I had to get spring water for my tanks. It's a lot of spring water when you consider water changes but it's worth it. The Ph is practically zero in these so make sure to add calcium carbonate or other Ph boosting substance (but not too much).

You could try a cheap RO unit, it pays for itself after awhile. Depends how many tanks you have, I suppose.

What are the white circles in the tanks?

Hello. I am presently dealing with a ammonia spike. It seems to be coming down from 2.ppm to .50 ppm- 1.0 ppm. I use quick start but mostly Stability for beneficial bacteria once a day. My tank seems to be going through a new tank syndrome. It has already ran a cycle. Now this again. 4 small corrydoras & 1 angelfish in my 90 gallon. I feed once a day. Any words of wisdom? This is my 1st time watcher. I left you a little thanks. Respectfully, Martin

Hmm. How did you cycle the tank? How long have the fish been in there? Sometimes when you add fish in, it takes a bit for the bacteria to build up in order to handle the new bioload.

The cycle did it’s usual. Ammonia spike,nitrite spike then 5ppm nitrate. I waited 4 days after all of that happened then added 4 Cory’s and one angelfish. This is taking place in a 90 gallon. Glad I didn’t add more fish yet. In your opinion could this be “new tank syndrome”? I cycled the tank with stability. When I ran out I switched over to API Quick Start which I have plenty of.

@@martyborst5645from what I'm reading that sounds about right. New bioload, organics spike, bacteria colonies will grow and it should level out in a couple of weeks. Just keep up the Prime dosing as well to bind the ammonia, this keeps it from hurting your animals.

I think I may have rushed my cycle or the cycle crashed. In my blue dream 6 gal tank. I’m reading about 2ppm ammonia. 0 nitrites, and around 30mm nitrate. I quickly dosed prime and stability. It’s day 2 now and it’s the same reading. I’m using api master test kit. Should I do a bit water change or let the nitrogen cycle do it’s thing and continue to dose with prime and stability?

You can do a slight water change to help lower the ammonia. If there is ammonia AND nitrates, your tank is cycled but there is something creating too much ammonia right now. Is there anything dead in there or perhaps some uneaten food tucked under some hardscape?

@@moffia100 cycling is the process of establishing bacteria to process ammonia into nitrates. it typically takes 3-4 weeks in a new tank but with the added ammonia from most soils it can take up to 8. no worries, i'm always willing to answer questions. I do have a video on cycling, somewhere lol

I have an Ammonia spike in my tank but my nitrite and nitrates are very low, what do I do? I did 20% water change yesterday and today but it seems to be higher

@BobMossNanoTanks

First, keep dosing Prime or whatever dechlorinater you have to neutralize the ammonia. Second, you need to find the source. Did something die? Is there something rotting? Did you possibly over feed? Did the bioload increase recently? Once you find the cause, it's a matter of removing it and waiting for the filter to process the ammonia.
