Ok, in the last 4 weeks I have done numerous water changes in an attempt to get my levels under control. I have a 150 gal tank. Yesterday I changed out 30gals, two weeks before 15 gals, a week or so before that 15gal. The ammonia level always seem to be high. On a few occasions my nitrates where through the roof! What gives?
Whay can't I get these levels under control? My tank is a little over two years old. It's been empty (no fish) for quite some time now. All I have in there is a few turbo snails, a bunch of hermits and a scooter benny. I had a lawn mower but I think the crabs killed and eat him as there are no traces anywhere of him. Actually the last time I saw him I was pulling his tail out of one of the hermits shell as he was trying to drag him in. I managed to free him but never saw him again after that
poor guy! ANYWAY, somebody look a the pics (that is if they show up) and tell me something. I thought I had a pretty good handle on this thing but now Im not so sure.
