Hello again,
So last time I posted I was having problems with my aggressive axie following a nitrate problem. Well! Since they were still behaving a little strangely (if looking rather well) I decided to have my water re-tested, just to be on the safe side.
Now since the water is looking clearer and more sparkly than ever before, I really hoped the results would be good, but apparently now I have an ammonia problem, and an acidic PH!!!
I'm not completely sure what I'm doing wrong, because I kept these two axies in a smaller tank for over a year with no problems at all, it's only since the move to the bigger thank that the problems have come up.
The advice I was given was to stop feeding for a week, and add Bicarb of Soda to my tank. But since this wasn't an axie specialising shop, I wanted to check with you guys. Is this what you'd do?
Also, what would cause my PH to drop like that? I was too flabberghasted at the time to think about asking!
Thanks guys,
bluefroggy.
