Once again my nitrate level is at 160 ppm. My miniatus grouper is losing his color and laying on the ground like hes having a hard time breathing and my snowflake eel is having minor convulsions. I don't know what to do?!?! I have no quarantine tank available for them at the moment. And I don't understand what is causing this. EVERYTHING ELSE is normal, but the nitrates are through the roof. I cleaned the filter, wiped all the algae off the glass, and added the appropriate dosage of Amquel for a 30 gallon tank. I need help, and quick!! This all started last week when we got a new bucket of water form the LFS. EVER SINCE the tank has been spiraling out of control. My fish were doing great these past 2 days and the nitrate was decreasing slowly from 160 to 40 and now its BACK at 160.
