I just went through all the test kits I have and my results are:
Ph - 8.0
Alkalinity - 0
Ammo - 0 ppm
Nitrites - 0 ppm (which I thought were the same as 'NITRATES')
Nitrates - 80 ppm
Clacium - 595 mg/l
salinity - 39 ppt
specific gravity - 1.029
This was the first time I tested for Nitrates since I incurred this 40 gal tank a couple weeks back. I have two clowns, a blue damsel, a dragon goby, three snails and a hermit. I also have CC and some dead LR, only about 20 lbs or so. From what I read on my calcium tests, it is very high and my Alk way too low. How do I change these levels? As far as the Nitrate level being what it is, should I not feed my fish for about a week? I usually feed them a cube of frozen brine shrimp once a day as I was told to. Also, I used to have a Domino Damsel in there and bought it two weeks ago. Now, for four days it has not been in sight, and I went through all the rocks.. Did my goby eat him?
